Fear and lies on sexed up intelligence

Thank God the UK still has a functioning press corps or the Bush administration's lies would never be exposed. The UK Independent unveils the latest hitherto suppressed internal document from Blair's side of the deceits that tricked us into this failed occupation.

It shows Mr Ross told the inquiry, chaired by Lord Butler, "there was no intelligence evidence of significant holdings of CW [chemical warfare], BW [biological warfare] or nuclear material" held by the Iraqi dictator before the invasion. "There was, moreover, no intelligence or assessment during my time in the job that Iraq had any intention to launch an attack against its neighbours or the UK or the US," he added.

Meanwhile, Rice is afraid to talk to Tehran because they might ask for some concessions that we don't want to give. How lame is that? Just because they ask doesn't mean we can't say no. Jebus, that's like saying you can't take a two year old into the grocery store because they might ask for candy.
