If you'd turned on the news, read a paper or gone to a website at any time in the last two years, you might think that Iraq is a disaster zone of epic proportions, where the removal of Saddam Hussein has started the process of degeneration towards civil war which was the reason everyone (including Tony Blair, r-r-r-r-right up to the point when Shrubya said "I want to invade Iraq") gave for reluctantly not doing anything about him in the 1980s and 90s. Only, you'd be completely wrong, for American stooge Interim Prime Minister Ahmed Chalabi Iyad Allawi is in America to explain that things really are all right and there aren't any problems at all. Josh Marshall even quotes him as saying that if the US and Allies hadn't invaded Iraq then there would have been a lot more Sept. 11th style terrorist attacks in the US and Europe. The wording is just loose enough that Allawi could claim he means that the terrorists wouldn't be involved with or coming from Iraq, but that they would somehow be emboldened by the fact that the world hadn't got rid of Saddam Hussein to go kill crazy. Of course, following his downfall, they've been a model of restraint. But to anyone with any sense, which rules out most of Shrubya's supporters, it's clear that the administration are still pushing the completely discredited lies that Hussein was involved with 11th September 2001 and that he was involved with international terrorism.

Meanwhile, Lurch Kerry calls press conference to deny rumours he's seeking to be the next President of the United States. Unfortunately no one turns up.
