In more pathetic attempts to justify war and emulate the administration in Washington, hawks in the British government are attempting to downplay the fact there may not be any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Today in London's Independent, is a story with the headline, "So, Mr Straw, why did we go to war?" (referring to British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw). Directly under this headline are these quotes from Mr. Straw:

Jack Straw, 21 February 2003: 'Some of these weapons are deployable within 45 minutes of an order to use them'
Jack Straw, 14 May 2003: Asked of the need to find weapons of mass destruction... 'It's not crucial'

So yeah, hey Jack, what's up with that? At least the media in one country is questioning their government on its blatant hypocrisy. I wish I could say the same for the media in my country.
