Blair accused over new Saddam weapons claim

Yes, the title is correct, lol. The Scotsman is nailing Blair for his bs on his 'new' claims of Saddam's WMDs. Seems Tony is always more than willing to lie and stretch the truth when it's for the cause. Too bad he's not a good liar, he ends up acting like a bumbling, ninny instead.

TONY Blair was last night accused of using misleading language about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction after he claimed inspectors had found evidence of a clandestine laboratory network system in Iraq.

"The Iraq Survey Group has found evidence of a massive clandestine laboratory network system. When a country with a leader like Saddam tries to hide that, what is it doing?"

But Downing Street later had to admit the Prime Minister’s remarks referred to the interim report published by the Iraq Survey Group earlier this year and not to any new findings.

Michael Ancram, the shadow foreign secretary, accused the Mr Blair of misrepresenting the findings of the Iraq Survey Group in its interim report in October.

The prime minister was under fire this morning for apparently exaggerating the extent of weapons of mass destruction finds in Iraq during an interview he gave to British army radio.

In an interview with the British Forces Broadcasting Service, Mr Blair claimed the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) had found "massive evidence of a huge system of clandestine laboratories".

But the former chief UN weapons inspector, Hans Blix, accused Mr Blair of "innuendo" for implying the laboratories were used for WMD, while the Conservatives accused Mr Blair of spinning the ISG's November dossier.

Last night Downing Street was forced to admit that Mr Blair's comments only referred to that document, and not any information which may or may not have come to light since then. It is possible a backbench MP may raise the issue at today's final prime ministers' questions of 2003.


....

Tony, another dodgy dossier? Tell us it isn't so, Tony. Tony?

anybody there?
tony is starting to sound more like an echo chamber.

by now and can the BS. They give new meaning to
"compulsive liar".

but perhaps in a more subtle way, with CNN - FAUX NEWS - MSNBC doing the ground work to convice folks.

According to freerupublic.com folk they have all kind of proof and aren't as subtle.
