Gordon Brown says Pentagon misled UK over case for Iraq invasion

8. Same here, Matilda. What a disappointment Tony Bliar turned out to be

I remember being in awe of him when I was in college - especially after the Bush mafia installed Dubya as president in 2000.

I remember thinking that Blair could be a formidable counterweight for the Bush regime's war drums (which already in early 2001 pointed straight to Iraq).

To see him line up behind Bush, almost literally trailing behind him like a poodle, was one of the great disappointments I've ever had as far as politics.

To be fair, I doubt Blair had much choice. The Bushes are thugs (to say nothing of Cheney!) and were more than capable of staging some "incident" in London if Blair didn't comply.

And yes, I don't think anyone anywhere in the world bought into the David Kelly "suicide." It couldn't have been more obvious.
