Quoting AEnigma III: Quoting catwoman: Aenigma, what are the benefits the UK got out of the war? Surely they didn't go to bring democracy to Iraq either...  |
Please let me know when you find any benefits - other than maintaining our "position" as Bush's lap dog  |
So you didn't win any nice oil contracts? Ohh.... then I must say I'd feel cheated if I was a Brit!

Not as far as I am aware, no But there must have been a "sweetener" somewhere, I agree.
The only solace is that it will be Blair's legacy....the UK will NEVER forget what he did.

The US will also NEVER forget UK's loyalty.  Though really... you shouldn't have...

I will be very surprised if a Prime Minister will ever go against public opinion in such a radical way again. The whole country KNEW that the reasons for going to Iraq were lies, but he ignored everyone and went off to drink coffee on Bush's ranch and discuss tactics.

It wasn't very smart of him, I must admit. Bush was lying to the public two years before the war started to "prepare" them for an attack, that way he didn't go against the public. That's way smarter! I'm surprised he didn't advice Blair to do the same.... :-S

Who Will Take On the Banks?
It was smart of the top Democrats to cut presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich out of that South Carolina debate, where they lamely attempted to deal with the dire consequences of the banking meltdown without confronting the banks. They made all the proper concerned noises about millions of folks losing their retirement savings and homes, but none was willing to say what Kucinich would have said: Bankers are crooks who will steal from the public unless the government holds them accountable.
How do I know Kucinich would have said that? Because I interviewed him for the Los Angeles Times back when he was mayor of Cleveland and the banks foreclosed on his city after he refused to sell the public power plant. Others can talk a populist line, but Kucinich lived it. He was forced out of office that time, but voters realized 10 years later that Kucinich had been right. Thanks to the public power alternative that Kucinich refused to sacrifice, Cleveland had cheap power, and he was elected to the Ohio Legislature and then to Congress as his reward.
