Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
McGrath...yeah, it was astounding that Tony Blair was able to strongarm his party and his government into going into that war...clearly going against the wishes of a great majority of his own population...just an incredible hijacking of a government.

To the credit of his party, there were many in it who vigorously opposed what he was doing. As far as I'm concerned he utterly betrayed his party and his nation.

It seems that no matter who you vote for in the UK, you get a government that serves the same grand imperial plan...in concert with the USA. Your parties have been bought and hijacked.

Canadians in general did not support that war either, and our government stayed out of it. It's clear to me that Tony Blair and George Bush had decided long in advance of the Iraq War exactly what they were going to do...and they were serving their own secret agenda for the war, regardless of what the British people thought about it. Their agenda had nothing to do with Iraqi WMDs or Iraq's ability to threaten anyone. Iraq had no real ability to threaten other nations after the Gulf War in '91.

They were after other things, things they never spoke of or would admit to.
