Re: General Sir Michael Rose calls for Tony Blair's Impeachment
Enough already! Give a hearing to the defence. This media harangue, ignored by voters in US/UK Nov/04, May/05, presumes a Lie: the Lie is the Lie. There was none.
Each leader in the Coalition of the Willing gave a lead cause for taking him down:Howard in Oz made a link to Bali, Bush to 9/11. Lord knows what the Ukrainian said, or the Pole, Spaniard, Italian. Of the causes presented to UK Parliament,one included a potential Threat to RAF Akrotiri if he chose to spool up his Scuds - which is a 45min. exercise from positioning them at desired launch site. We were also told that he had gassed his own people. Where's the Lie here? We were told that we did not know how far he had progresssed in extending that capability. Lie? That maybe he had NBC capable of reaching beyond his borders. Lie?
Yes, it was worth the bones of our Grenadiers to stop him at a time and place of our choosing. Yes it's all to do with oil - try living - or blogging - without it. It's not price, or profit, it's straight market availability. Who here remembers being Dutch in 1973 when our sane friend the Shah told Netherlands that regretfully they must shiver and expire for he would not sell his oil to a Govt. of whose Foreign Policy he disapproved. If at any one time supply were cut from Iran+Iraq+Saudi, we would all be hostage. That's what al-Qaida is all about.
