This is here just because it’s a good shot of two shits. The one on the left is Alistair Campbell, Spin-Meister in Chief to the grinning slime-bag on the right. I’ll come to him in a moment.
Sir John Scarlett who was the intelligence boss at the time – and had the grace to look guilty himself yesterday – says The Grinning Turd’s claim that spies had ‘established beyond doubt’ that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction was ‘quite separate from the text of the dossier itself’ and that he ‘sexed up’ the strength of the intelligence with an ‘overtly political’ foreword making the case for war.
What came out of this? Well, £15 million and counting for Tone and Cherie. Countless thousands dead, troops betrayed by general incompetence and the Monstrous Toad’s unwillingness to spend money on what was needed – as opposed to what is not. Also counting.
The shamelessness of these wretches almost defies belief. In earlier times they would have been beheaded. Now they get paid squillions for autobiographies, lectures, consultancies and so on. Mind you, the Turd’s autobiography will be filed under Fiction in the Obscene Publications section
The 45 minute claim is one of the worst lies and Scarlet knows that.Our own WMD are not ready in 45 minutes, so how the hell could Iraq's (if they had any) be?
The way that the public was lied to and given the impression that Iraq could threaten our country was just so bloody wrong.
As an aside, Campbell was on the British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand in 2005 as press liaison, and all the players thought he was a cunt.
