I am not so sure. Look at Bush Jr. I strongly suspect that this was planned a
long time ago by his political specialists: once the debate and evidence that
Bush lied starts to surface, Bush starts some "independant" inquiry which will
have a mandate to clear everything up, a year from now. Between now and the
election, Bush Jr will simply deflect any criticism, telling critics to wait
until the report is out. Yep, people who dislike Bush Jr will see through it,
but they wouldn't be voting for him anyways. Bush will preserve the voters who
still believe he did the right thing by illegally invading Iraq and killing
thousands of innocent Iraqis.

Remember that the crime was pushed by the Cheney-Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz axis of
evil. It will be fairly easy for Bush Jr to get some sort of absolution since
like Reagan for Iran-Contra, he be able to claim that he really didn't know.

And this this was an axil of evil plan, one has to wonder what Cheney
Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld did to plan their one protection/escape since this was
their onw pet project.

In the UK, I strongly suspect that Bliar also has a plan in place to delay and
deflect any criticism.

It is very easy to set things up so that Bliar has total deniability. "Give me
only the short story on all the evidence since I don't have time to read
through all the justification." So he's told about the 45 minute thing without
any warning that this info is useless.
