Harold Pinter acknowledgement speech

[eppie]

The TRUTH about the war is that a suspected WMD capable nation was being led by a thug who no longer was interested in playing by the world's rules.

--Hoho, what do you mean with "suspected" everybody knows the US has WMD's

I don't have regrets about going to war, although I think the stated reasons of "WMD" and "Links to Terrorism" were a weak justification in that they were more suspicions.  The *real* reason for the war was more complicated in a geopolitical sense, than many people would understand and unfortunately rather than pursue a good justification, Bush and Blair sought a short-cut which returned to bite them.  In my opinion, the war happened because sanctions failed.

This I find a very unfair explanation. Especially against people who beforehand were against the war. Look the war went on, for mostly wrong reasons. So let's say, pro-war people won. But at least now be a real man, and just admit we have been lied to.


Same thing with the "secret flights" business now. If you hear Rice trying to find words to make things look less bad. I mean she knows europe is too scared to really do anything against it.

Just be honest and admit it. Yes we fly prisoners all around the world to torture them, but we think we have our reasons for that. I mean than it is clear. Probably you have good reasons to do these things but stop treating the world as little children and keep lying.
