We must get a member of the WH Press Corps to ask Blair about DSM. We need somebody who has guts, who isn't going to accept a softball answer. Any suggestions?

Blair is not as good a liar as *. He has a conscience. He actually feels bad for killing all those people. If we can get someone to press him for the truth, then we'll be getting somewhere with this.

1. Hmmmmmm... planning on another secret meeting of war???

3. It's called, "Getting the Story Straight"

and here is what it's going to be:

Matthew Rycroft misunderstood Sir Richard Dearlove's assessment regarding the intent of the US, which was possibly misrepresented.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

4. suggestion - get a member of the British press. Our people are wimps

[LittleClarkie]

5. Hm. I wonder how far in advance that was planned

Wouldn't have anything to do with Kerry and the DSM in the Senate, also on Monday, would it?

[janx]

6. Unless it was the other way around--

unless Kerry planned on the DSM in the Senate Monday because of that. Also, news of the DSM just went up on the DNC blog.

???

9. It was planned far ahead of time

Blair's wife has a speaking engagement at the Kennedy Center too, IIRC.

It is very auspicious timing for us, though.

We should all email Helen Thomas. Anybody have her contact info?

16. You win the prize!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bunny planet]

17. Hmmmmm I wonder.

[Flying Dream Blues]

7. Hmmm....wonder if JimmyJeff will be on call? n/t

8. Blair has no conscience, and he may have ordered the murder of David Kelly

Blair is absolute trash!

10. Blair:"No-one lied. No-one made up the intelligence."

The Report finds that there is little – if any – significant evidence of stockpiles of readily deployable weapons.

But it also concludes that Saddam Hussein did indeed have:

a. “the strategic intention of resuming the pursuit of prohibited weapons programmes, including if possible its nuclear weapons programme, when United Nations inspection regimes were relaxed and sanctions were eroded or lifted.

b. In support of that goal, was carrying out illicit research and development, and procurement, activities, to seek to sustain its indigenous capabilities.

c. Was developing ballistic missiles with a range longer than permitted under relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions;”

Throughout the last 18 months, throughout the rage and ferment of the debate over Iraq, there have been two questions.

One is an issue of good faith, of integrity.

This is now the fourth exhaustive inquiry that has dealt with this issue. This report, like the Hutton inquiry, like the report of the ISC before it and of the FAC before that, has found the same thing.

No-one lied. No-one made up the intelligence. No-one inserted things into the dossier against the advice of the intelligence services.

Everyone genuinely tried to do their best in good faith for the country in circumstances of acute difficulty. That issue of good faith should now be at an end.

14. Oh sure

they just manipulated eh? Not quite lying huh?

[applegrove]

11. Bush desperate to not have to face debt forgiveness issue at G8

meeting. He has so far pushed it off the agenda at 2 other meetings. How else are poor countries going to be bullied into going against the ICC and for neocon economic policy if they cannot be pressed by loans?

***holes!

12. KKKarl Rove cooked this one up

The timing is toooooooooooooooooooooooo weird. Monday will be VERY interesting.

15. Fuck..........fuck.. Mcfuckedy fuck,

who here wants to bet that this "press conference" will trump Kerry on the Senate floor on Monday??? C-span will choose to cover the Blair story and Kerry's talk about the DSM won't be heard? Any bets, anyone?

[bobbieinok]

19. this and Kerry speech on DSM and Jackson verdict...all Mon...which

story will NOT be reported???

20. Worry about your local affiliate stations

forget about CNN and Faux News. Tell them it's all over the Internet. They are calling it “the smoking gun, yet we hear nothing about it in the News. As viewers, we are really upset that the media doesn't think a memo proving the Bush administration lied to push us into war isn't important!”

[mtnsnake]

21. Fuck Blair. He's just visiting his pal so they get their stories straight.

To save money, GB & the USA should hold a joint impeachment and impeach both their sorry asses at the same time.

[jayctravis]

22. Blair I'm sure would be THRILLED for this to blow up

and take some of the heat off him...man those non-vetted British townhall audiences are fierce!

[oxbow]

23. I contacted H.T. about this

she says they won't call on her, but she'll try anyway. What an outstanding lady!

Anyone else I should contact in the press corps?

[zann725]

24. And the timing and purpose of his trip? 'Damage Control' re: Downing Memo?

Me thinks so.
Too bad he's not bringing along Sir Galloway! Then we'd have a good question and answer!
