George Bush Tony Blair and Pontius Pilate

[manxbiker]

Does anyone agree that George Bush Tony Blair are behaving like Potius Pilate they both sent troops out to Iraq the so called excuse that they were going to find Saddam Hussein's so called WMD's which as we all now know did not exsist also to rid the country of Saddam Hussein yet when it came to his trail and execution it was nothing to do with them it was down to the Iraqie Goverment and they washed their hands of it just like Potius Pilate what do you think am i right or not and why ?

Before the invasion of Iraq, how many people honestly believed that Saddam really had WMD?

Even the UN inspectors couldn't say for certain that he didn't, because they hadn't finished their searches.

Suddenly, everybody became wise after the event.

I don't think they 'washed their hands' of the affair of Saddam's trail - from the outset it has been the stated intention of America and Britain to 'free' Iraq to govern itself - so leaving Sadaam's punishment in the hands of the Iraqui government is in keeping with that stated ideal.

That said, even now Bush refuses to admit, even from his experienced military advisers, that the situation in Iraq is one which cannot be resolved by more troops and further force.

The fact that he keeps on regurgitating his sickening soundbites like "staying until the job's done .." doesn't alter the basic fact - this is our generation's Viet Nam. Jane Fonda was quoted saying exactly that on the news yesterday - and she'd know, she was protesting when it really was this nation's Viet Nam.

History teaches us valuable lessons, but only if you listen to hear what they are.
