(4,062 posts)Consider this gem from March 10 2013:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/9919593/Iraq-War-how-the-Bush-administration-saw-the-march-to-war.html
Subtitle, emphasis mine:
"Top aides of George W Bush have revealed that Tony Blair did not place conditions on British support for the US mission to overthrow Saddam Hussein and rejected claims that weapons intelligence was fixed. "
What year is this again? Most people (including Bush, considering his Press Dinner "comedy" skit) recognized that this was bullshit back in 2004.
BTW, the Guardian broke much of the fixed intelligence story. Remember "This is Bullshit?"

Think I'll stick with the news source who has a track record of getting it right.
