The lies we believe. Are we stupid?

British tabloid, The Mail on Sunday claims to have obtained secret emails, released from private servers of the former US Secretary of State for Obama, Hillary Clinton. They were written by the Secretary of State, Colin Powell to then President, George W Bush. They reveal Tony Blair's promise that Britain would support any war on Iraq militarily, one year before the attack on Iraq. Bush had flattered Blair's ego by inviting him to his private ranch at Crawford, Texas and the photo of Blair smiling at Bush, as the two men shake hands, shows his adulation for the American President. At the time Blair said," This is a matter for considering all the options. We're not proposing military action at this point in time." Powell wrote in his memo to Bush," Blair continues to stand by you and the US as we move forward on the war on terrorism and on Iraq. He will present to you the strategic, tactical and public affairs lines that he believes will strengthen global support for our common cause." So not only was Blair lying to the British people he taught Bush what lies to tell the world. Blair lied repeatedly to the British parliament about Saddam Hussein developing Weapons of Mass Destruction, even claiming that Saddam had " active military plans for the use of chemical and biological weapons, which could be activated within 45 minutes" and that he had " no doubt " that inspectors would find the " clearest possible evidence " of WMDs. UN chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix found no evidence of WMDs in Iraq but Bush and Blair attacked Iraq anyway, killing hundreds of thousands. Colin Powell lied to the UN Security Council, even to the extent of manufacturing evidence. The Bush family apparently had extensive business links with Saudis, including Bin Laden's brother, Salem. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis but the FBI is accused of deliberately suppressing evidence linking Saudi involvement in 9/11 attacks. Maybe, because the CIA and the Bush family had extensive links to the infamous Bank of Credit and Commerce International of Pakistan which shut down in 1991 but its activities were taken over by Bin Laden. Obama suppressed information obtained from Bin Laden's house after he was killed, to claim the Al Qaeda had been defeated, for his reelection in 2012. David Cameron's cronies acted as agents of UAE to attack Qatar in the British press. Yet the Emir of Qatar was welcomed at Buckingham Palace by the Queen when he visited in October last year. Cameron used a Security Council resolution authorising protection of civilians in Libya, especially Benghazi, to kill Gaddafi. 30,000 civilians died and 50,000 were injured. Libya has descended into anarchy today. They lie, we believe, we must be stupid.
