Spies threaten Blair with 'smoking gun' over Iraq Senior intelligence officers kept secret records of meetings after pressure from No 10

Independent - UK -08 June 2003
 

Intelligence officers are holding a "smoking gun" which proves that they were subjected to a series of demands by Tony Blair's staff in the run-up to the Iraq war.

The officers are furious about the accusation levelled by the Leader of the Commons, John Reid, that "rogue elements" are at work in the security services. They fear they are being lined up to take the blame for faulty intelligence used to justify the Iraq war.

Tony Blair was crazy about Bill Clinton and modeled his campaign after Bill.  So why did he jump on the Bush war wagon about the existence of WMD?  Bush had to have something on him.  The Bushes are like that you know.

"As you know, earlier this week, President Bush met with French President Jacques Chirac for the first time since France came out against the war in Iraq. It was kind of hard for them to communicate, 'cause, you know, Chirac's English is not very good, and, of course, Bush's English is even worse." - Jay Leno
