Wake up and smell the sulphur....How the War Party plans to lie us into war – again
21-09-2006 08:56
For the War Party, deception isn't just a tactic, or even a strategy – it's a lifestyle. That's why they're indifferent to getting caught. Like a hardened criminal arrested for his umpteenth felony, the neocons see brazen lying as just a routine procedure. Caught red-handed, they just move on to their next subterfuge, one invariably designed to drag us into war.Bush wants a bloodbath in Baghdad

And in so doing, they diverted the attention of the police and intelligence services toward a phantom, and away from a very real threat that remains intact, and that the government refuses to deal with.British Peoples Party - Skint Or Just Totally Incompetent
