Gus > But tell me, why do EU or US elites have to "convince" public opinion in the first place??!?! Because the have to keep up the facade of "democracy". smh.com.au >>The head of Britain's foreign intelligence agency told the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, that the case for war in Iraq was being "fixed" by Washington to suit US policy, a BBC documentary will claim today. Richard Dearlove, head of MI6, briefed Blair and a group of ministers on the United States' determination to launch the invasion nine months before hostilities began in March 2003, the Sunday Times reported, citing the BBC program, which is due to be aired later in the day. After attending a briefing in Washington, he told the meeting that war was "inevitable", according to the newspaper. "The facts and intelligence" were being "fixed round the policy" by US President George Bush's administration, Dearlove said.<< And it seems, for whatever reason, Bliar had to do what he was told. > the nuclear tsunami off Aceh You still with that?!
