Is this a statement for effect Al or have i missed yet further revelations?
If so, source please?
#1 My impression of the Bush gang is that they don't care about world opinion...unlike Clinton and Gore.
#2 Americans are happy Saddam is out. The WMD issue isn't even strong enough for the Democrats to pick up as an election issue. They're switching to offering universal health benefits to the elderly.
Oh I thought you'd have heard mate. This is vintage!
US unearths WMDs at last!
Methinks there is a much greater danger of America's WMDs falling into the hands of terrorists than Iraq's ever were!
pnj, you might be right about the US government not ultimately caring about world opinion. They might still come up with something if Blair's position is endangered, or if public opinion in the US was to change.
Moreover, those you might be gulled into believing are in Washington's back pocket might themselves turn face as their impending ousting from office draws nigh, leaving Washington and the country by extension increasingly isolated on the world stage. Such isolation could and would exacerbate the economic decline in the US and that would indeed turn public opinion sharply downwards.
Given all the other issues the Bush admin has wrapped in a cloak of secrecy together with its pentagon cronies, I have little trouble believing that when push comes to shove they would simply plant evidence to save their political butts. With no independent third parties on the ground to verify one way or the other, they can do as they please fully expecting gullible US citizens to accept their sensational find as truth without question.
No doubt such contingencies have been well planned out behind closed doors long in advance.
Just wonder how many lies and hypocrisies have to pile up before the nation turns its guns on these bastards and launches a full scale investigation into everything they've been hiding from the public.

Much remains to be seen.
yea as if you care that women were raped and men tortured, u still got ur dinner at the rite time, it's hardly as though u were losing sleep over the fact that thousands of iraqis were being slaughtered,
FAKE EMPATHY thats all i can say
Please just tell me how Saddam was directly harming Americans,i do firmly believe that Americans now are brainwashed,why listen to bush anymore,stop this pathetic excuse for a leader:rolleyes:
Maybe Sadamm had something to do with sending chemicals to London but was it America?
Don't forget Vietnam,american soliders raped young women and children in the jungle,what do u say to this?
The sheer attrocity of it all is that whilst reports of these practices reached Congress, neither DynCorp nor the mercs involved were indicted for any war crimes.
Just goes to show the corrupt and unaccountable cushy relationship which exists between US military contractors and the government. They can get away with anything around the globe and the public is kept blissfully ignorant of it all thanks to a compliant corporate media.
