Blair under pressure
Link: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2005-04/28/content_2892798.htm

Snip: <ONDON, April 28 (Xinhuanet) -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair is under pressure following the leak of secret advice from Britain's top lawyer questioning the Iraq War's legality just a week before polling day, the Guardian reported Thursday.

The advice given by Attorney General Lord Goldsmith on March 2003, a week before the US and the UK failed to get a second UN resolution, raises serious concerns about the legality of the Iraq War.

It warned that an international court "might well conclude" the invasion of Iraq was illegal unless the US and UK could demonstrate hard evidence of noncompliance and non-cooperation by Saddam Hussein's government.>

1. ?
Why can't our media use terms to describe Bush like theirs does to describe Blair..

The fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction was.. as they put it...

..... a "gross deception"

Do you think our networks would ever accuse Bush of a "gross deception"? :silly:
