The UK Daily Mail is making big headlines (at the top of the Drudge Report page as I write) with its exclusive story purporting to prove that former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair was committed to war with Iraq at a time he was telling the British public that he was seeking a diplomatic solution. The email it cites came from “a batch of secret emails held on the private server of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton which U.S. courts have forced her to reveal.”
I think the Daily Mail has buried the lead. For one thing, the secret memo to President Bush authored by then US secretary of State Colin Powell, rather than proving Blair was committed to war clearly states, "On Iraq, Blair will be with us should military operations be necessary." That is a contingency. If diplomacy had succeeded, then Blair would not be committed to war.

You can see the documents at the daily mail article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3278117/The-net-closing-Blair-Critics-ex-PM-seize-smoking-gun-U-S-memos-reveal-signed-Iraq-conflict-Bush-YEAR-invasion-started.html
Also, there is the question: Why was Hillary saving documents from the G.W. Bush presidency written by SecState Powell on her private server?
Ping on actual classified document on Hillary’s server.
The story for American’s isn’t Tony Blair but that this is an actual document from Hillary’s stash, which she denies having.
That was the first thing that crossed my mind...
It's not marked Classified is meaningless doublespeak. Nothing is ever marked Classified.
My experience in the Air Force taught me Classified is not a classification. Secret, Top Secret, Confidential, EFTO, and NFORN are classifications.
,,,, Hillary hiding dirt on her adversaries on her personal server and how about those 500 FBI files ????? I think Hillary is a SPY .
Yea it was clearly marked SECRET/NOFORN, and looks like it was declassified 1 Apr 2012. Was this email on the server before it was declassified? The daily mail tried to make the story essentially Bush lied and people died. But, the other part of the story is Hillary lied, about never having received or sent email that was marked classified.
I’m missing the point here. So we know that hitlery is more of a sociopath than some other globalist politician. And this knowledge helps us precisely how?
Does it make us more free?
Does it give us a roadmap for liberty?
Probably Bill Clinton was smelling out a deal for the Clinton Foundation.
The GWB info was apparently worth something in the global intel market that the conniving Clintons raked big bucks from.
Had to be about the money.
1) For her to use as BLACKMAIL
2) To DEFLECT from her own illegal and corrupt dealings
If this memo is indeed SECRET/NOFORN, it is proof that she has absolutely no regard for our national security whatsoever. She was probably aware of the 'classified email' issue when she scoured her emails for submittal and SUBMITTED SECRET AND TOP SECRET EMAILS ANYWAY.
Her campaign slogan should be 'What difference does it make?'
The Blair/Bush blurb is the one that surfaced, so far.The cornpone Clintons don’t do anything unless there’s money in it for them....Hillary’s prolly got a stash....with dollar signs written all over them.
We need to check the Clintons honorarium. foundation donations...and insider deals.....to see what they raked in.
Anoher clue-—if Blumenthal weighed on the Bush emails.
That is correct. In any event I’ve listened carefully and Hillary has never said “Marked AS classified”, just “Marked Classified”.
A case of the meaning of “As” is.
For anyone wanting to pin the felony tail on the Hillary donkey, it would be money in the bank.
Mr Blair is not lower than a snake's belly.
Thanks for posting this. It has started an interesting thread.
Under EO-12958, “DECL: 04/01/12” meant that it would be reviewed for declassification on that date.
Also note at the bottom of the page that it was ‘declassified’ with redaction’s on Jan 23, 2014, in response to a FOIA request.
If the committee does not ask her about these classified emails this week, then the fix is in.
Hillary is Alice in wonderland, Bill is the mad hatter and Kerry is the March Hare. Well.. This is so strange
.. Analogies are defied. I forgot Mooshell is the Queen, yelling, “Off with their heads”, all the time
Comes back to the “process” .. “Somebody” read every email addressed to Clinton at the State Dept, edited it to remove the classified paragraph markings and headers, then either forrwarded to her civilian, unsecure email server; or re-wrote “everything” from every State Dept paper and letter and email and telephone conversation, then forwarded THAT summary to her email address.
Either way, Hillary is either too ignorant and self-serving to be allowed into the loop, too ignorant and too stupid and too foolish to be allowed into the preparations and conversations, too insulated to know the preparations are required, being insulated from the preparations and discussions, too ignorant to know the difference, to stupid and ignorant to care, or all of the above.
