Liars and Their Lies
A Big Stick and a Small Carrot: Liars and Their Lies
It is often claimed that Blair has absolutely no influence over Bush. Today, evidence suggests that this isn’t quite true. Here’s coverage of their press conference:
“It’s bad in Iraq,” Mr Bush conceded to reporters. But he said the violence was not a result of “faulty planning”.
“It is a deliberate strategy. It is the direct result of outside extremists teaming up with internal extremists… to foment hatred and to throttle at birth the possibility of a non-sectarian democracy.”
Now where have I heard that before? Ah yes. Blair has passed on to Bush his ridiculous “nothing to do with us” nonsense. He does have some influence after all.
