Stop the press! Blair and Bush Lie about Iraq!
Tony Blair claimed again today that America and Britain are in Iraq with the support of a UN resolution. He is talking about resolution 1441 which specifically includes a clause placed there at the request of France, Russia and China that states that a second resolution would be required before military action could be taken. There was no second resolution. The Iraq war is illegal, anyone can read the text of 1441 and realise that, no matter how many times Blair and Bush lie about it. It would make things a lot clearer for people if Kofi Annan would mention this now and then instead of just standing by and watching his organisation being perverted and slandered by war criminals.
Yes, Saddam was an evil maniac but he was America's evil maniac until he threatened OPEC by invading Kuwait. Never forget when Bush and his cronies blither on about removing a cruel dictator that he had their full support when he committed most of his atrocities. Or that people are still being tortured in interior ministry basements and American prison camps and are still being plucked off the street to be driven away and shot in the head. Or that a civil war in Iraq will make the crimes of Saddam and the coalition appear mild by comparison.
