In Denial

I watched the BBC’s Political Editor, Nick Robinson ask George Bush if he was in denial about Iraq. Bush’s answer reminded me of a fish flopping at the end of a fishing line. I see that the Guardian’s Simon Hoggart had a similar reaction, only with him it seemed like a dead fish twitching on the fishmonger’s slab.

 

But the really grisly thing, which makes the laughter die on the lips, is the reality that Bush and Blair, and the rest of their crew, have given birth to in Iraq. And it’s not as though the results were not foreseen before the invasion. We seem an awful long way from "Mission Accomplished" now.
