WASHINGTON, June 7 - President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain presented a united front on Tuesday against a recently disclosed British government memorandum that said in July 2002 that American intelligence was being "fixed" around the policy of removing Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
"There's nothing farther from the truth," Mr. Bush said in his first public comments about the so-called Downing Street memo, which has created anger among the administration's critics who see it as evidence that the president was intent to go to war with Iraq earlier than the White House has said.
"Look, both of us didn't want to use our military," Mr. Bush added. "Nobody wants to commit military into combat. It's the last option."
Mr. Blair, standing at Mr. Bush's side in a joint news conference in the East Room of the White House, said, "No, the facts were not being fixed in any shape or form at all."
The statements contradicted assertions in the memorandum, which was first disclosed by The Sunday Times of London on May 1 and which records the minutes of a meeting of Mr. Blair's senior policy advisers more than half a year before the war with Iraq began. [...]
Wow. What a surprise. I never would have guessed.
tony, georgie, too bad. You're 36 days late and definitely a dollar short. What tony? georgie told you the only way you were getting anything out of him was for you to do him this little favor?
how did you put it back when the memo was disclosed? "There's nothing new there" No denials. No denials from bush. Tough shit, old boy. You waited too long.
You both thought it was going to just go away, didn't you, You knew the ass-licks in the CCMA (Consolidated Corporate Media of America) would bury it. You assholes forgot about the 'internets' where it has been hammered on daily. For 36 days. And you know what happens? It starts to become news, because people start talking about it, it gets mentioned, people e-mail each other. That becomes a market, and you know sooner or later someone is going to go try to capture that market, and the story breaks in the CCMA, and that's it. Toast.
No, poodle boy. You and little georgie just go on. You really don't think anyone really believes you now, do you?
I know that I shouldn't be picking on people whose self-esteem is so low that they have to kill people to feel manly. So ordinarily, I'd leave the two of you alone. But, you actually ARE killing people. You do know that, don't you?
