WTF Is It Now?!?

Condo 'oil me!' Rice on US troop strategery
"I saw it starting to go wrong before the [2000] election. I met with Condi Rice. She told me she believed that American troops shouldn’t be keeping the peace - they were the only ones who could kill people and conquer countries, and that’s what they should be focused on doing." - Gen. Wesley Clark, in an interview with Newsweek.




"We conclude that ministers did not mislead parliament.''
Vicious...you hit me with a flower....

The NY Times reports:
British Prime Minister Tony 'Piddles' Blair and his government did not mislead parliament or doctor evidence to justify the war on Iraq, a parliamentary committee concluded Monday. The Foreign Affairs Committee, which has been probing charges officials exaggerated intelligence on Iraq's weapons to strengthen the case for war, cleared Blair, a top aide and ministers of the allegations, made on the BBC.

But the committee did slap the government's wrists for giving undue prominence to questionable intelligence in a September dossier on Iraq's weapons and for plagiarizing a student thesis for a second dossier published in February.

Hey, no big deal - just a few thousand people got killed, that's all. Nothing to see here, move along.
