Blair and the Truth behind the Lies
By The Anglo American | May 2, 2011
“Politicians are obliged from time to time to conceal the truth, to bend it and even distort it, where the interests of the bigger strategic goal demand it to be done.”
This is a direct quote from A Journey - the unimaginative title of a book written by Britain’s former Prime Minster, Tony Blair.
This would dovetail with his political thinking when he claimed Britain was under a 45-minute threat of attack by Iraq - in a word, lie.
Shooting the messenger was a Soviet Union tactic. As is the way with lies, they require more lies. The attacks on the journalist, Andrew Gilligan and the BBC can now be seen in as furthering the lie.
And in this context we can place the tragic death of Dr. David Kelly. Kelly was a government scientist with intimate knowledge of Iraq.
He was also was a back door source for the British government when it suited them, but a traitor when he came to exposing the lie that Blair now admits to.
Similar parallels can be drawn in the United States. Carl Rove, the Deputy Chief of staff to President George W Bush was far too astute to blatantly say that Iraq caused 9/11. But he implied it and distanced himself from correcting the misinformed American public from believing this fallacy.
The British public, however, always knew they were being lied to. It explains why Tony Blair is universally despised in his own country, not least by his own party. His book, proves they were right to.
