The war is unpopular because of the media, according to Blair

Let's have a big "waaaahhhh" for Tony Blair, who is jumping on the classic Republican game of blaming the media for all of his problems. The war is not unpopular because of the media, it's unpopular because it is going down as one of the biggest mistakes in modern history, full of tales of corruption and incompetence with splashes of arrogance and deceit to top it all off.

The reality is that the US and UK went to war thanks to a well orchestrated media push that singled out and punished dissenters, labeling them as enemies of the state instead of voices within a democractic system. Crying now about the media turn today is weak and whiney, but when you have nothing left but a pile of lies and a tarnished history that ties you to an expensive and deadly catastrophe, what else can you say?
