"Now, Bush can now dangle the carrot. If Blair doesn't support his tyranical schemes then it only takes one phone-call to reinstate the always-eager-council-estaters-who-call-themselves-the-Irish-Republican-Army's development fund."
Hughes! What a load of conspiratorial old rope! Next you'll be telling the world, and any eavesdropping alien life form (AKA John Howard) that cares to listen, that America had a finger in the Allende overthrow.
That "another fine mess you've got us into" Ollie North was directly involved in secretly aiding the contras, selling arms to Iran, and diverting Iran arms sales proceeds to the contras. We know he was found not guilty, as was Hail to the Chimp 1 Ronnie Reagan. (Actually he was found insane ... by Pharoah's daughter floating down the Nile in a sawn off semi (pron: "see my") automatic coracle.)
That the Bay of Pigs was a paranoid, inept mission impossible masterminded by JFK, his personal tarot card reader and Tom Cruise, and not an innocent reenactment of the Boston Tea Party staged by the Bacon Futures Dealers from the big end of downtown Saskatchewan
That Richard "I love a good kicking around and don't mind giving Pat a few backhanders" Nixon was involved with the Watergate debacle. Everyone knows (except you it seems) that Dicky was playing cards at his local with a few of his closest friends. I have studied in detail the sworn statements to this effect provided by the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and Narelle the Bespoke Toothfairy.
That Administration after Administration secretly funded Jim Henson conditional upon him providing cute, fluffy, funny talking leaders for regimes overthrown by mass popular movements that couldn't possibly be, even in your wildest dreams, funded by the CIA, vested interests and the L******* Foundation for Old Fashioned Family Values (Stoning to Death for Adultery and Secks before Marryinginiage Division). I do however concede your claim that some of them went a bit "Chucky" after a few years in power.
Nonetheless ... get off the turps Hughes! Loose lips sink ships ... look what Jagger done to the Titanic!
