Today's UK Observer carries an article with the headline:
Bush and Blair made secret pact for Iraq war The second sentence in that article spouts this easily refuted LIE about bush's poodle:
"...when Blair became the first foreign leader to visit America after 11 September."http://observer.guardian.co.uk/politics/story/0,6903,1185407,00.htmlExcuse me, but the FIRST foreign leader to visit America after the attacks was French President Jacques Chirac. From CNN:
Chirac shown New York devastationSeptember 19, 2001 Posted: 3:47 PM EDT (1947 GMT)
NEW YORK (CNN) -- French President Jacques Chirac has became the first foreign leader to survey New York's devastated World Trade Center area.
Chirac was flown over the disaster zone in a helicopter on Wednesday, joined by the city's Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
Chirac, who met Bush at the White House on Tuesday, hailed the firefighters at the forefront of the rescue mission.
"I want to say bravo, thank you. You did that for the New Yorkers but also for all the free world, for the dignity of all mankind and we know that and we are beside you," Chirac said." http://europe.cnn.com/2001/US/09/19/ret.bush.france/So, Chirac was at the WH on Tuesday, Sept 18 and flew over NYC WTC the next day. Blair showed up in DC on Thursday, the 20th.
Another attempt at revisionist history that IGNORES the sympathy and support of France along the way.
I HATE the effing media!!
BTW - the Observer article is still a good read.
