Blair's in trouble over bogus WMD claims
I don't know what a Commons select committee is, but it doesn't sound to promising for the Poodle. Maybe he should have listened less to The Thug Cabal and more to his constituents. Now his opposition is calling for his head:
Tony Blair's post-war tour of Iraq today ran into trouble before he had even set foot in the country when Robin Cook served notice that the prime minister faces a growing crisis over the failure to uncover weapons of mass destruction. Seizing on the "breathtaking" admission by Donald Rumsfeld that Saddam Hussein may have destroyed his weapons, the former foreign secretary issued a blunt warning to the prime minister that he took Britain to war on a false basis.
"Saying that they can't find the weapons, and they may never find the weapons, blows an enormous gaping hole through the case for war that was made on both sides of the Atlantic," Mr Cook told Chan nel 4 News last night. "That has to be investigated - a [Commons] select committee is one way of pursuing it."

Ever watch the house of commons drilling Blair on his policies? It's too bad congress can't do the same with the fraud we have running around impersonating a president. The idiot would have resigned after the first session.

I really realyl wish our Congress had something like what they do in Britain, when the Prime Minister has to take questions from the Parliament. Imagine Chimpy McWarhardon having to answer questions from Sen. Robert Byrd that weren't prepared for him ahead of time. That would bea truely wonderful thing.

Why does it seem the U.K. has more independent and fairer investigative reporting than the U.S. and a more self-stabilizing government--that is, more reflective of its people (and thus democratic)?
And somehow they manage without free market 'value adders' like Clear Channel!
And so why did we break 'free' of Great Britain? Given what we've become, please remind me what we gained.

What you good people fail to understand is that our Dear Leader receives his instructions directly from the Almighty. As such, he is not accountable to those imperfect mortals in Congress.
