Ten Appalling Lies We Were Told About Iraq
Says it all really. Note last paragraph.
And as we all know, GW's Poodle-In-Chief, the Right Honourable Member for South Texas Tony Blair unleashed a similar tornado of distortion, exaggeration, spin and puffery on the British public in the run-up to this illegal invasion, thereby losing The Blue Meanie's vote for ever
But on a brighter note, we had the largest public demonstration in British history (more than a million people) in London in February (No blood for oil!), and we are now at least having (a sort of) public enquiry which has already exposed all sorts of cockroaches in the corridors of powder to the harsh light of day - even if the eventual report will inevitably be a bland whitewash

A more puzzling question to me - because I know politicians lie a lot - is, what's with your signature? Not trying to be obtuse; I just don't get it.
Also: the bigger lie right now is coming from oil industry lackeys (I mean analsysts). Their "supply crisis" rationale for gas prices is the biggest bald-faced lie I've seen since, well since the whole gas centrifuge thing by golly!

Indeed I have. I guess I don't recall the part where Jack says that four times over (which I'm guessing he does). I do however remembe the "Heeere's JOHNNY!" line.
before going after olive oil including the ed mcmahon impression, nicholson's character filled hundreds of pages of paper with "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy." quite monotonous, and creepy. the wife found it, and i think that led to their disagreement, and his going over the edge, so to speak.

Is the spelling intentionally goofed up? Or was it like that in The Shining as well?

Words of wisdom, Lloyd, my man. Words of wisdom.
Isn't it lying when you quote someone out of context?

"We have also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. We are concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] for missions targeting the United States." ? President Bush, Oct. 7.
Scott:
I'd be very grateful if you could point me to a link where I could read more about these humming silos of terribly dangerous unmanned drones discovered by the puissant, thrusting American weapons inspectors.
Because I keep abreast of the news and I don't remember reading that any of this "growing fleet" has been discovered.
In fact, come to think of it, I sorta feel... lied to!
Sort of like George Bush is a great big, fat ****ing liar, you know?
Anyway, waiting for your link,
love, your friend

They're wrong about #2. Maybe some of the other 9 but why bother reading it when it lies itself.
I'm with Hassan on this - care to back up your claims with some actual evidence here, Scott? Care to offer us a bit more than unadorned monosyllables like "crap" and "wrong"?
Show me a link to any information on one solitary single 'manned air vehicle' (commonly known as 'an aeroplane', I believe) discovered in the last three months equipped to deliver chemical or biological weapons and capable of the 6,000 mile flight from central Iraq, across the no-fly zone and the Atlantic Ocean to the United States. Please.
Or any 'unmanned air vehicle' of any kind not made from fibreglass and powered by a car battery.
Kites, radio controlled biplanes and weather balloons do not count.
(I've been woodshedding a new dance similar to my World Famous Oil Dance, incidentally, tentatively titled my 'George Bush Is A Big Fat Liar' Dance. It's only a work in progress but I believe it has potential. I might give it a run out in a sort of performance-workshop soon, maybe on this thread.)

The argument made at the web site is that a drone with a range of 300 miles is not threat to a country 6000 miles away. Obviously if you had such a drone and you wanted to attack a country with it you would LAUNCH IT FROM A MUCH CLOSER DISTANCE. So their argument is bullshit.

#2 is wrong mainly because the brits still stand by their claim that Iraq was trying to by stuff from Africa.

How convenient to declare *any* model plane, ultra light and manned plane a possible attack weapon on a nation half a world away...
Scott, just how gullible are you?
