First and foremost, I'm still a bit sick and my allergies are really bothering me so I'm finding it hard to concentrate or hold a cognitive thought for very long, however I feel compelled to reply to Nicodemus's post.
Interesting post indeed Nicodemus. I wonder if people on this board from Britain would care to enlighten us on how Tony Blair is faring with the current popular public opinion with regards to this new information that the Bush Administration lied to Blair, and the world. I'm willing to bet the bank that the rest of Blairâs term (however long that may be) will be mild in comparison to most leaders terms, without many more actions that would cause strife, simply to save face for himself. Personally, I believe the media tells us what sells the most, or what makes them the most money (such as contributions to keep certain information out), which is why I'd rather hear from those that personally live in Britain. Do Britainâs harbor animosity towards Americans after the engagement in Iraq, and the subsequent lies?
What puzzles me is that I don't seem to understand why after the truth emerged about the lies the Bush Administration was telling that the "higher-up" political figures still side with Bush by not acknowledging a problem. Is this because most of the house is Republican right now? I just don't understand their hesitancy to accept the truth.
