Prime Minister Tony Blair Confirms Authenticity of Downing Street Memo

"The Prime Minister has confirmed the authenticity of a Downing Street memo in which Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6, tells Mr Blair that the Bush administration was "fixing" the intelligence and facts about Saddam Hussein's regime to back up a decision that had been taken to invade Iraq as early as July 2002.

The Downing Street memo which was leaked to the Sunday Times newspaper in May 2005 has become a critical issue in the US. Senators Kennedy and Kerry have joined the escalating debate by writing to the President asking whether or not the memo was authentic and accurate. Downing Street has previously refused to comment on the memo's authenticity, but challenged for the first time on the floor of the House of Commons the Prime Minister has finally confirmed its authenticity."

This could be about to get goooooooood, kids.

You realise of course that even if they manage to prove beyond shadow of doubt that Bush was lying, it won't matter worth a darn.

Because to 51% of americans, and those percentage of right-wing nutjobs, the ends justify the means. IOW they don't care if he lied, they're having their holy war and they don't care what pretext was used.

Of course, catch him with his pants around his ankles and some interns mouth round his dick... that would be a different matter. [particually if the intern was male.]

I think lying about this is a little more severe than lying about a hummer.

I say it calls for an impeachment.
