Blair is Bush's Bitch: 9/11 Changed Everything

Tony Blair dismisses the Downing St Memo and truly proves that he is Bush's bitch-monkey: "The most important thing we can do in Iraq is concentrate on the fact ... that what is happening there is a monumental battle that affects our own security. The world for both of us changed after Sept. 11. What happened for me after 9/11 is that the balance of risk changed. I took the view that if these people ever got hold of nuclear, chemical or biological capability, they would probably use it. What people forget about that memo is that that (it) occurred 9 months before the conflict. ... So whatever issues there were, we resolved them ultimately by saying we have got to give it one last chance to work peacefully." Yeah, Tony, that's really is the point. The UN was then strongarmed and lied to by the US and the UK in order to justify the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation. So his big attempt at discrediting the Memos is to say that b/c the UK & US did exactly what the Memos suggest they considered doing (drumming up the WMD threat in order to make the war more politically palatable since Bush had already said he was determined to overthrow Saddam, no matter what) SOMEHOW the Memos distort the facts. Does that make any sense at all? Well, Howard Dean tries to make sense of their lies on Hardball.
