'Cardboard cut-out gunslinging Texan warmonger': UK's BBC

[emad]

Snip:

"Downing Street remains confident that a majority of people on balance think that the right thing was done in Iraq. And that Iraq is a better place, and the world a safer place without Saddam Hussein.

But as far as a lot of people are concerned they can't get over this cardboard cut-out of this gun slinging Texan who's a warmonger. Who goes around the world oblivious to the effect he has on certain countries, oblivious to what he does to multilateral institutions"

Yep: FAIR and BALANCED! That's the Brits' reporting for you - an accurate portrayal of public feeling, hehe

1. the party whgere no huests came?

Loved this part:

Blink and it was over. Well, not quite - the forty one guns took a while to go off -but the event itself, viewed from outside the gates of Buckingham Palace, seemed strangely truncated and almost lame. The military bands played, the soldiers marched, the President and the Queen did their stuff, but there was no-one to watch. . . . . .

the great British public never felt invited and, with the exception of a hundred or so hardy souls, they didn't show up. A few people jogging in the park across the road or hurrying to work paused for a moment but most just rushed on by.

This was a glittering spectacle without an audience. It was a film-set, not a theatre. "


What a laugh! What a frigging waste of money.
