Blair and Bush are soul brothers after all
Posted by Jill | 12:52 PM

You know, I've really tried mightily to keep my tinfoil hat in its box in the aftermath of the London bombings, despite the fact that terrorist attacks do seem to happen just when George W. Bush needs a distraction from his bad poll ratings or one of the hot and cold running Administration scandals that, ignored by the media, have plagued this country since he took office. The 9/11 attacks took place the day after a Newsweek story about Republican chicanery in the 2000 election hit the stands, and the London attacks took place just as the Karl Rove Turdblossom was getting ready to hit the fan.

But while I may be a nut, I'm not a complete nut, and I was willing to buy that the London attacks were simply a case of Shit Happens, and that they were a message from some variant of Al Qaeda to Tony Blair to stop fucking with Iraq and get his lips off of George W. Bush's dick.

But this makes me wonder:

Prime Minister Tony Blair today will dismiss calls for an inquiry into the London terror attacks.

The Conservatives have called for a probe to see if anything could have been done to prevent the bombings.

But the Prime Minister will use a Commons statement to underline his confidence in the intelligence services and reject demands for an inquiry.

Mr Blair said at the weekend that "all the surveillance in the world" would not stop terrorists determined to attack Britain.

Last night a Downing Street spokeswoman said: "The Prime Minister has confidence in the intelligence services and he won't be holding an inquiry".


What is Tony Blair trying to hide?
