"The memo seen by Prof Sands reveals:"

Absolutely nothing, because prior to this week it only existed in Professor Sands' head.

Obviously the novelists at the Guardian think we're as dumb as they look.

I'm going to ask them to have their readers target another swing state next election.

I thought he was already in breach of 17 resolutions.

Those were other resolutions and didn't count. Didn't you do "do agains" as a kid?

(PM backed invasion despite illegality)

That's as far as I got. I have no time for uneducated, liberal asshats that have NO idea of what they speak.

“The disclosures come in a new edition of Lawless World, by Phillipe Sands”


A newly released book with “startling” revelations – who would have thunk it?

"I have 97 typewriters."

Ah, but how many monkeys do you have? And how long will it be before the next blockbuster from William Shakespeare will come out?

Well, it was Blair who placed so much store in the legality of his actions in International Law, so these are legitimate questions to ask of him. If he said "I don't care whether it's 'legal', I'm going to do what I consider to be the right thing", that would be a different matter.

No, they're not. It was a just war. Are you familiar with the 1st Gulf War? There were ultimately 18 resolutions inacted. If Saddam broke ANY of these, the war could resume as if it never ended. HE BROKE ALL 18

So, where's the illegality, hmmm?

Like I said, it was Tony Blair who said that the only lawful reason for invasion was the direct threat posed by Saddam's weapons of mass destruction. Not me.
