[City Lights]

42. Great pics!

Here's one of Tony being prepped for the press conference:

[seemslikeadream]

34. You are so right fixed that - Have you seen this?

Smirk a little smirk for me

http://eclectech.co.uk/smirk.php WATCH THIS VIDEO

[MN ChimpH8R]

41. LOL! nt

[City Lights]

46. That is fantastic!

Who taught chimpy to play the gee-tar?

[Pirate Smile]

9. He said SH could have stopped it. It was up to SH. Yeah, right.

[seabeyond]

37. lets start yelling it, it has been SAID

saddam would surrender to you in oct and leave the country and tell his army to cooperate. but you told him no, you wanted to fight

[doublethink]

50. Well Perl did say a couple of weeks ago

that it was because of a clerical error .... or didn't you hear? :freak:

[Goldeneye]

10. well...Bush says its not true....so that's that.

He was also upset that they dropped this on his friend right before the election.

[RadiDem]

11. Chimp admires Bono ' a man of great depth '

[mourningdove92]

13. Cube Rat here....

How was the question posed and what did Smirk say?

[knowbody0]

it happened before they went to the UN

so it does not matter. SH refused to disarm. next question..........

[babylonsister]

14. They are LOATHSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:banghead: :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Edit to add: And I am SICK of that peabrain talking so condescendingly to us. :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[glaeken777]

18. he was right on Bono

A man of depth and a good heart,

Bush was oozing envy there. LOL.

[kaitykaity]

16. Any follow up??

Tony Blair didn't answer the question!!!

[underpants]

22. No they both were told to say "it was before we went to the UN"

which has nothing to do with what the minutes say.

[mopaul]

17. once again he's pissed at the press, & listening through a wire

[Triana]

19. Can you please clarify this post?

What exactly was asked (how?) and what exactly was the answer(s)?

[Journeyman]

39. Don't try and learn anything from a "real time" DU post. . .

it invariably gets mangled. Unless you are watching the same event, you have to create your own reality from the disjointed posts. Better to watch a replay of the press conference (if you can find it) or wait for someone reputable to report on it.

Wish I could offer more, but unless someone steps in and directly answers your question you probably won't get anything useful from this post. Just my eperience. Your mileage may vary.

[karlrschneider]

21. I tried to watch these bastards, I really did, but had to find a different

channel to look at. :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:
:puke: :grr: :puke:

[RadiDem]

23. Chimp says U.S moving away from Hyrdocarbon powered cars ! RIGHT !

[Fuzz]

24. "The United States has taken the lead on this ...:"

The global warming issue.

What planet is this guy on?

[RadiDem]

25. The Chimp and Poodle show has ENDED !

[glaeken777]

26. amen

They dodged a bullet there.

[TexasLady]

28. and so go the DingleBerry Boys..

nothin like a lil accountability... :puke:

[rodeodance]

33. so the 'official' response now from both of them is that that 'memo'

was written before they we went to the UN (first Jr. said 'we' went to the UN --than he pointedly said "I" went to the UN and we got a unanamous decision).
Well, now we know.

[me b zola]

31. leslie wolf is going to talk about the DSM question

Soon to be up on CNN, Wolf is going to talk about their denials of the DSM..

here it is..


UK corespondent; "no surprise that they maintained their position on it"

[rodeodance]

38. what exactly did the reporter ask (news conference)---did he ask

about the memo--fixing the intell to meet the policy? If so, then they did not answer the question.

[me b zola]

45. I don't remember the exact woding of the question

It was a bare-bones question (with no follow up)

Blair danced pretty good, but flat out denied that the intel was fixed.

dumya sputtered some nonsense that was fairly unintelligable

[Raksha]

35. I HEARD THAT!!! The only thing worse than a lying scum like the Shrub

is TWO lying scum together in a scripted press conference! I got up and started cursing at the TV screen: "LIAR!!! You fucking LIAR!!!" I couldn't believe Tony Blair saying that nobody knows better what the Downing Street memo is all about than he does, and then repeating the lie they were giving Saddam Hussein "once last chance" to comply with the U.N. resolutions.

And then Shrub standing there with that evil self-satisfied little grin on his face, talking about how nobody wants to go to war (no normal person, asshole, but that does NOT include you) and how one of the hardest parts of his jobs is consoling military families, and blah blah blah... (Right, asshole, that's why we never see you at military funerals)

Gawd, how stupid do they think the American people are, anyway? Somebody better clue them in that at least some of us can READ!!!

[mopaul]

40. war was our LAST resort,....bullshit nazi boy

i am so surprised i haven't thrown an anvil at my t.v. machine.

[Raksha]

51. It's not my TV and it's almost brand new...

...but even so, I was tempted to throw a brick through the damn thing. Lying assholes!

[BigBearJohn]

36. Give that man $1,000!

[cestpaspossible]

43. but the questions will keep getting asked.

[rodeodance]

48. lets hope so--over and over

[Synnical]

44. This was the question

Q - On Iraq, the so-called Downing Street Memo from July 2002 says that intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy of removing Saddam through military action. Is this an accurate reflection . . .?

Blair replied they were not in any way.

[rodeodance]

47. thanks--I missed the beginning.

[Rex]

49. Good!

I hope they force this issue 24/7.

[Pirate Smile]

52. Here is a thread with the video.
