US, Britain close ranks over Iraq war case but fail to quell storm
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1504&ncid=1504&e=2&u=/afp/20030718/ts_afp/iraq_worldwrap_030718131232

BAGHDAD (AFP) - The furore over the US-led coalition's case for war in Iraq (news - web sites) refused to die down despite a vigorous defence by British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) in an address to the US Congress.

Blair insisted the coalition's overthrow of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) would be vindicated by history even if no weapons of mass destruction were found, a formulation that was seized on by the British press as an admission the coalition's main pretext for war might have been false.

And in a macabre twist, police in London announced they had found a body near the home of missing Iraq arms expert David Kelly, the presumed source of some of the most damaging media criticism of the coalition's alleged embellishment of its case for war.

"History will forgive" the United States and Britain for waging war on Iraq even if it was uncertain whether Baghdad posed a threat from weapons of mass destruction, Blair said.

Bliar is in fantasy land as is the Shrub. Delusion must be contagious
we need the BLUE FOOD. Only blue food can cure Delusion. As GCarlin sez: WHERE IS THE BLUE FOOD? SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS ALL THE BLUE FOOD.

Is this a conspiracy? They intentionally with hold the blue food to keep us collectively deluded??? Sounds like a plot for a movie
