Bush in crisis, Blair in crisis, elections looming. What could save them now?

If this is true, and they get caught with their pants down, they're fucked.

Little danger of that. Bush could probably kill a load of children in front of the American mainstream media and they wouldn't mention it. And they'd insist the BBC were lying if they reported it.

This would of been all over the news if it was in favour of Bush and Blair, but seeing as it will mean that they do get 'fucked' has it been reported by our media? CNN? BBC? I don't know because i haven't seen any news, but i wouldn't be suprised if it's not been reported in western media, and 'kept quiet'.

And from such a reliable source, how could anyone question this breaking news? I'm outraged that no major media outlets have reported this.

Just outraged.

Well there should be something reporting the 'rumours' at least. If it was beneficial to the British and American governments you can fucking bet it would of already been in all the papers.

And all over the TV, and they'd be following up on the latest breaking news and all that shit.

Why anyone believes it's all Muslims to blame i haven't got a fucking clue.

I'm not familiar with the Mehr news service - what is the word on the reliability of its reporting (in general)? Not that I'd be at all surprised to find that this was true, but I also tend towards the cynical when it comes to the 'news'.

Has anyone else (at all) picked up this story or verified any of the claims?

I'm with Lepidopteran here... it honestly wouldn't surprise me if it were true, but I have no reason to believe (without further knowledge or information about the news service, which I confess I haven't encountered before) that this would be any more reliable a source than our own fully-democratic press. Which lies.

...a couple of faked long-range missiles wouldn't exactly be enough for them to try and justify the war. They would have to ship in nuclear, biological, chemical etc. weapons, which I'm assuming the US has enough security and whatnot around their own, that they couldn't secretly ship it bits of some to Iraq without someone going to the press...

We can all do our bit though. Whilst we have no way of verifying that this story is true or not without being on the ground ......if you feel strongly about this and believe there IS some truth to this, then WHY not email this link to as many people as you can?

Okay the worst thing that happens is that the story is wrong, you look a little foolish (and John Ashcroft can look at all you other email transactions!)

But if it is true and enough people pass this on, then when it does break that Iraq had these (newly imported) WMD's , hoepfully enough people would be a little suspicious of the shock story of the day

Sadly, most people who I know are too fucking stupid to even contemplate their Government might stoop to such levels
