Blair's Logic?
Help me with this quick sanity check. If I understand correctly Blair's argument with regard to the Hutton report and WMD is as follows:

We (Tony and pals) were given information from the intelligence services that we believed to be sound, because they said it was. We acted upon it. Now everyone is criticizing us, which is unfair, because we really did believe those WMDs were real. It's not our fault. All we did is act upon intelligence.

If I am correct, and this is Blair's line of thinking, I can see just one tiny little flaw... WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T HE LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO TOLD HIM THAT THERE WERE NO WMD?

Maybe if he werent lying he might be more rational.

2. Because he's a dick? What worries me is he might gut the BBC. That would
be worse than a lot of crap.

3. I dont understand your question.


His arguement is that everyone was telling him that there were WMD's, therefore there were not any people telling him they didn't exist.

At least, this is his insane claim.

What reason did Kelley have to kill himself if not to hide the orders to sex up the reports.

Are we to believe thet David Kelley sexed up the documents on his own and was therefore to blame for the failed war?

Does Blair think the whole world is too stupid to even notice?

5. Unfortunately
I believe that Tony is an evangelical third wayer. He is on a crusade to make the world as he sees fit. The reason he didn't listen to people telling him that there were no WMD is because he desparately wanted there to be.

Tony beieves what he says. Unfortunately that makes him far more dangerous than Bush. You can see Bush knows he is a liar but doesn't care. Blair ofn the other hand can proclaim black is white and believe it.

7. He is a robber Baron
He's acting like one too. I just wish dueling was still legal. He has offended my honour.
