  • It wasn’t that objectively he had done more. It was that our perception of the risk had shifted.
  • Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair • Speaking out regarding allegations that he had misled Parliament about the threat in Iraq. Essentially, he admitted that it wasn’t an imminent threat, but 9/11 had changed the playing field. Oh boy. That sounds like he might have misled Parliament on Iraq. source

U.S.: Cheney’s secret CIA operation was just like “Hot Shots! Part Deux”

  • To continue the trend of linking old movies to current events we started last week, here goes: Imagine Charlie Sheen as the U.S. military, fighting a war on terror, somewhat ineptly. Imagine Saddam Hussein to be all terrorists, especially the leaders of al-Qaeda.

And imagine the fireplace as the drama that the CIA is facing right now because of the story we’re linking to. source
