You're a naughty boy Tony! Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Things are starting to get hot for Mr Bliar.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Stor...,968597,00.html

Personally, I'd like to see the smarmy **** shot; but I'll settle for his resignation and disgrace.

I said that the Tories would wait until they could find some way of leveraging his unpopularity over the war without coming over as anti-American. It looks like that's started.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

And the Beeb, and the Torygraph.

What's important here is not that Bliar has been naughty, but that the Tories have signalled they may break with him if he doesn't produce proper evidence. Now it seems plain to me that he hasn't got any: so it will be an uncomfortable time for Tony, since the majority of the house will oppose him on this one.

They haven't even had a inquiry yet... and it all rests on the word of an "unnamed intelligence source"... and you want him shot... Maybe you should wait until there is actually a little "proof"...

I wanted him shot long before the war. And there is more to it than an unnamed intelligence source - two cabinet ministers have accused him of lying to cabinet.

So (finally) are the British Tories'.

First off, I don't stand by the first quotation anymore. And secondly anybody who does call me a fascist is wrong. And thirdly, arrogant people do have the right to protest.

So I got a lot more credibility than you do.

She works for the "let's have Gordon Brown as Prime Minster so I might have a political future after all" group.

Robin Cook is rather more credible. The Guardian isn't.

Seems to me the oh-so-lame weapons of mass destruction casus belli will no longer be used. With any luck we'll be back to obviously staged border incidents and the like.

What does this mean? Did Chirac not threaten to veto the resolution?

IIRC, Blair claimed Chirac would veto a second resolution under any circumstances. That was a play with words - Chirac only made it clear he would veto it at the moment, a qualifier that Blair left out. So it was a halftruth.

Apparently, it's a lot worse for the US president to lie about a sex affair than about "proofs" which are supposed to be the reason for a war.

There is something wrong here, don't you think ?

To start a war by lying,
Tony fell down,
And lost his crown,
But George just sat there laughing.
