When asked by the back-bench MP’s who made up yesterday’s Commons Liaison Committee if there was any evidence that linked Saddam Hussein to Al Qaeda, Phoney Tony replied, “Not to my knowledge.” When asked about Britain’s “special” relationship with the US our revered leader was of the opinion that we should stand alongside our American cousins because it was unfair to allow them to stand alone during the current crisis. When it was suggested that the US is the only serious superpower left (I think the Chinese might have something to say about that!) and was, in effect, the biggest bully on the block intent on pursuing international policies to the benefit of itself, Blair defended his buddy Dubya by describing the US as a “force for good”. Tone has admitted publicly that he knows of no link between Saddam and Al Qaeda yet Bush the Bewildered is citing this apparently none existent link as one of a long list of excuses to declare war on Iraq and is happy to allow US citizens to believe that Saddam is somehow partly responsible for the destruction of the twin towers. Shouldn’t Phoney be worried that Dubya is prepared to go to war on a lie? Doesn’t this jar with his claim that the US is “a force for good”? Doesn’t it worry Bleughh that the US and Britain are, to some extent, responsible for Saddam’s weapons programme? The British and US governments weren’t bothered about Saddam’s fitness to rule when they helped to arm him in his war against Iran, mostly because he was hell bent on upsetting the reactionary Ayatollah Khomeini and his Shi’ite regime, considered to be a major pain in the arse by both the US and Britain. Who can blame Saddam if he thought he could get away with invading another neighbour, Kuwait? Dubya and Bleughh have made a lot of mileage out of the empty chemical shell casings that were found in some bunker. Because they did not appear on the 12,000 page inventory it is a sign that Saddam isn’t co-operating. I don’t doubt that the Iraqi dictator is guilty of obfuscation and that his chemical and biological weapons (which everyone knows he has) are stashed somewhere very safe, probably outside Iraq’s borders. However, the empty shell cases are a poor excuse to go and bomb the crap out of Iraqi civilians. If Dubya and Bleughh were asked to make inventory of every single weapon in their national arsenals would they be able to include every last one whether armed with a warhead or not? Would they include the weapons that should be there but are not? Would they include the weapons grade fissile material that has gone “missing” from nuclear power stations? What about the raft of MOD shells about to be decommissioned by being blown up, lost after floating away down the Bristol Channel? A virtual mushroom cloud of hypocrisy hangs over these two bastards and the fallout will be measured in body bags. Now Bleughh has refused to rule out the use of nukes in Iraq. Well, I suppose a well aimed cruise missile with a nuclear warhead is far cheaper than equipping our army with full basic kit (uniforms, boots, weapons, radios, vehciles etc). The US, despite all its military might and fearsome rhetoric, failed to “get” Saddam eleven years ago just like they completely failed to "get" Osama bin Laden for over a year.. Now they want to go for a re-match. Apart from a lot of dead Iraqi civilians and bombed out buildings Saddam has nothing to worry about because the only thing that US combat troops abroad are capable of "getting" is the death of allied troops from "friendly fire" and the clap from local whores!
