"WMD was the rationale for invading Iraq. But what was really driving
the US were fears over oil and the future of the dollar"

Well, duh. Like we needed a posting from you in here or an article in
the grauniad to work that one out.

Interesting article. Some ex civil servant bloke who was overlooked for
promotion is making waves on the basis of stuff some other bloke told
him in the pub. News reporting at its best eh?

 

You'd be amazed.......

Bet you didn't bother to look up the news link Mick provided Ace. I
remember his posting comcerning the Russians considering a move to
trading oil in Euros.

Don't be so hasty to put people down, it makes you look like a bit of a
twat sometimes...

 

I did, actually.

Hehe. If you think that was me trying to put him down...

 

Read "Blair's wars".

It really does looks as though there was *no* good reason for invading Iraq.

 

Good. that's ok then. FWIW I found Mick's post interesting at the time and
it helped put some bits of the jigsaw into place.

 

....and a couple of Rozzers even if they were of the military variety!
Hmmmm. Declare war on plod. There's an idea. Insurgent attacks against
speed cameras and the Talivan....
