70. A perfect storm for the war cabal

Mon Nov 2, 2015, 10:29 AM

Nov 2015

Most everything had to have gone wrong for them to be held accountable, and it has.

If the invasion and occupation were seen by most as a success this wouldn't have been investigated as hard and/or could be brushed aside. Who could have imagined so much effort being put into this? Who could imagine most of government and most of the press not closing ranks in support of a wartime Prime Minister's actions? He was acting in accord with Britain's greatest ally, the United States, how could that be a bad thing, after 911?
