Lying Blair Sticks To BS "Intelligence Wrong" Claim On Fareed

I watched the interview Fareed did with Mr. Poodle. The line that made me want to puke was when Blair said: "I apologise for the fact that the intelligence we received was wrong".

That is utter, in your face BULLSH*T.

You, and Bush were planning the invasion, long before you even looked for ANY intelligence. We have the proof. There was ZERO credible intelligence indicating Saddam had WMD's. The intelligence was 100% correct. You, and Bush are lying pieces of scum who took our nations to war by lying about threats to gain support.

I can only hope Blair, and his buddy Bush are someday held accountable for their treason. If they said "we don't know and we can't take that chance" and then bombed the crap out of Iraq, that wouldn't be treason. They said they "knew" when they didn't. I say prison for the Poodle, and the Shrub. And Darth, Rice, Rummy, and Powell too. Yes, Colin Powell. Seen the emails? He is just as guilty as the rest of the cabal.

Their excuses are simply stupid and stupider, and yet they continue to get away with it.

Sorry, I don't blame any politician for not wanting to take on the gale force winds of war. Some still do, at their own risk. Look at Baghdad Jim, and how they attacked him. From the New York Times: "One of the congressmen, Representative Jim McDermott of Washington State, said today that he thought President Bush was willing "to mislead the American people" about whether the war was needed and that the administration had gone back and forth between citing supposed links between Iraq and the terrorist network Al Qaeda and Iraq's supposed attempts to obtain weapons of mass destruction. " For telling the truth about how he felt, Jim was viciously attacked. And by the way McDermott was right. There was no proof. Bush did lie.

Anyone not "for war" will be attacked relentlessly by the Oligarch owned press, regardless of the facts.

Democrats have been labeled as "weak" for decades by the warmongers so anyone not for "war" has it twice as hard, as a Democrat.

What I blame Hillary for is trusting anything Bush said. She should have known better if anyone.

Maybe she thought that the penalty for lying about a bj was so severe, no one would lie about WMD's?

Sorry, Hillary was wrong to vote to support Bush, but I don't blame her for the lies, and the invasion.

And I am a Bernie guy.....
