Drip, drip, drip is the sound of the truth slowly being revealed of Tony Blair's government complicity with Tyrant Bush's war of aggression with Iraq. There is the unveiling of redacted section of "the resignation letter of Elizabeth Wilmshurst, a legal adviser at the Foreign Office, in which she said the war would be a 'crime of aggression'...of Documentary evidence has emerged showing that the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, changed his mind about the legality of the Iraq war just before the conflict began."

Colin Brown, Deputy Political editor of The Independent, writes about this rush to war:

"The revelations come two weeks after it emerged that there had never been a detailed dossier from the Attorney General setting out the case for military action before troops were committed, and that Britain went to war on the basis of nine paragraphs on a single sheet of A4 paper.

Last night's revelations - broadcast on Channel 4 News - showed that Ms Wilmshurst said the Attorney General had initially agreed with the Foreign Office legal team that a war on Iraq would be illegal without a second UN resolution."

So, in their haste to commit the crime of a "war of aggression" both men use the power of their office to ramrod through their respective democracies a Big Lie. The use of fear to cower those that would oppose those goals of "the Great Game" is prevalent. Both men abuse the power in their office and have not upheld their respective oaths upon taking the reins of power because the price of power is responsibility to the people and to their nation.

With Mr. Bush there is the forfeit to that office due to the means by which he was able to come to power. Both cases of 2000 and 2004 have shown that he will use any means to obtain and remain in power. The price of such ignoble means is that this nation's democratic institutions are in a state of peril.

What is shown in Mr. Blairs case is that he is willing to use the same methodology as Mr. Bush. However, one can see that in Great Britain that the power of the press can force a greater accountability to the people through the dissemination of information which is accurate and timely. This forceful journalistic enterprise is what is sorely lacking in American journalism which has devolved into the so-called objectivity of the playground mentality of "he said/she said".

What is happening in Britain is that Mr. Blair will be thrown out of power because the truth is slowly emerging for the world to see.
