“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Tony Blair said on Wednesday it would be "deeply irresponsible" to set an arbitrary deadline for pulling British forces out of Iraq.

Britain has some 7,100 troops in southern Iraq. Blair, undermined politically by his support for the U.S.-led war in Iraq, is under increasing pressure to name the date soldiers can start to come home before he steps down later this year.

But responding to a proposal by the Liberal Democrat party to bring troops home by October, Blair said this would send a disastrous message to the insurgents whom British forces are battling in Basra in southern Iraq.

"For us to set an arbitrary timetable -- not attached to the conditions in Iraq, simply saying that we will pull British troops out in October come what may -- would send the most disastrous signal to the people that we are fighting in Iraq," Blair told lawmakers.

"It is a policy that, whatever its superficial attractions may be, is actually deeply irresponsible ... " he said.

Blair's decision not to take part in a later parliamentary debate on Iraq and Middle East policy drew sharp criticism from his political opponents.

ZG is Chico and I claim my 5 groats.

More likely ZG ate Chico and absorbed some of his so-called self-styled "personality".

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

The Emperor has no clothes.... particularly not the prohibitionist Septics and their totally ineffective so called self styled "war on drugs".

many now believe it is OK for suspects to be questioned by police with no representation and that it is not a big deal if we get wrong convictions.

Yeah, it's all okay until it's you that's wrongly convicted.

Curious, isn't it, that our own government has adopted the tactics of the Bader-Meinhof group. Generate enough terror, and the people will beg the state to take away their liberties (with guidance on how to acheive this being provided by the same State, of course).

Of course the second part of the Bader-Meinhof strategy, which they never got to implement, all being in gaol or dead, was that the people would eventually realise that they were now being oppressed, and would rise up and destroy the state (with guidance on how to acheive this being provided by the Bader-Meinhof group, of course).

Then the glorious anarchist errrr, non-state would arise and liberate the people from the oppression of being organised, or having to wash every day, or something

Quite like the second bit - though the anarchy stuff never seems to work in a group any bigger than two people.
