• US, UK diabolic lie: Syria used chemical arms! 
  by Finian Cunningham, http://www.presstv.ir/ 
  You have to admit it. The Americans and British do make a formidable double-act – of deception and criminality. Where one party has the firepower, the other has the liar-power.
  –
  The diabolic duo is at it again. This time the criminal magic show is to sell the lie to the world that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons of mass destruction. Weeks of political choreography have set up the issue of chemical weapons as a convenient “red line”.
  –
  Now, hey presto, the threshold has been reached for the Americans and the British to justify ramping up their criminal interference in Syria from covert proxy terrorism to overt state terrorism.
  –
  The role that Britain’s David Cameron is playing today – of giving the Obama administration a cloak of credibility – is the exact same role that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair played 10 years ago for then US President George W Bush.
  –
  In 2003, the Bush administration was trying to sell the world a pretext for invading and expropriating Iraq with claims that the Baghdad regime had weapons of mass destruction. But the problem for Bush then was that his stories of uranium “yellow cake” from Niger and samples of chlorine “proving” chemical weapons (instead of drinking-water treatment) just didn’t sound  credible. The Cowboy President was too easily derided as the Cowboy Salesman.
  –
  Enter the talented Mr Blair whose job was to plug the American credibility gap. Blair’s Oxbridge education and typical British pretensions of civility and probity were crucial to selling the American war on Iraq. Where Bush sounded shaky and snaky, Blair sounded ever-so reassured and righteous about the non-existent facts of Iraq’s threat to world security. Recall Blair’s now-infamous claim that Iraq could launch weapons of mass destruction on Britain “within 45 minutes”.
  –
  It is a classic trait of the British ruling class – to sound reassuring, measured, credible and reasonable when in fact they are nothing more than low-life liars with fancy accents. This British ability to dissimulate reality is astounding. Yet down through history the British rulers have got away with this charlatan act over and over again. Yes, the British conman is parodied in cinema, but somehow the world keeps buying the artful dodger act.
  –
  Ten years after the invasion of Iraq by American and British-led forces – and more than 1.5 million Iraqis dead, and millions more orphaned or displaced – Bush and Blair should be prosecuted for launching a war of aggression based on outrageous lies. Yet, thanks in part to a servile mainstream media, Bush and Blair were this week cavorting at the White House with Obama and three other former US presidents to celebrate the opening of a library dedicated to the intellectually challenged Bush Junior.
  –
  Even more incredibly, 10 years after the American and British-led genocide in Iraq, the same double act is being played again over Syria claiming weapons of mass destruction as justification for military action.
  –
  There are a few squeamish voices in the Western media cautioning about the “mistakes” of Iraq. This is pathetically not good enough. What these media should be calling for, if they had any integrity, is the prosecution of Bush and Blair, as well as Obama and Cameron. But no, what we read are “cautions” over the “mistakes” of  “rushing into” Iraq.
