February 5, 1998, 11:00 a.m.-12:40 p.m.
Oval Office

The Vice President: In the meantime, we are getting new pressures, especially from Capitol Hill, to go after Saddam's head.

The President: That's right, Tony, and you just heard our press making exactly that point. But that approach is nowhere near as simple as it sounds on the surface.

Prime Minister Blair: E.O. 13526, section 1.4(b)(d)

The President: That's what is working and will work.

Prime Minister Blair: E.O. 13526, section 1.4(b)(d)

The President: E.O. 13526, section 1.4(d)

Prime Minister Blair: Our public opinion is not the same as yours, but we are working hard to educate the public. We put out a white paper yesterday on Iraq's WMD programs.

The President: I heard it is an outstanding document.

Prime Minister Blair: We have to educate international opinion so they see the real threat and choices we face.

The President: E.O. 13526, section 1.4(d)

MEMORANDUM OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATION

SUBJECT: Telcon with British Prime Minister Tony Blair (U)

PARTICIPANTS: The President, Prime Minister Tony Blair

DATE, TIME AND PLACE: July 27, 1997, 12:41 - 1:02 p.m.
EDT Private Residence, Los Angeles, California

Prime Minister Blair: What I think, the reason why I think there is some hope in the situation is that the ordinary people in Northern Ireland are desperate for peace.

The President: Oh God yes. This is the place in the world where there is the largest disconnect between the leaders and what the ordinary people want.

Prime Minister Blair: E.O. 13526, section 1.4(b)(d)

The President: And we will do that. I got your letter on the Middle East and I basically agree with the letter... I E.O. 13526, section l.4(d)... And I am really glad you are going to become EU president in January because my sense is that we can get some grudging progress for the rest of the year, and if there is going to be a breakthrough, then we will need everyone's help to close next year. I don't think the present situation can be maintained. E.O. 13526, section 1.4(d)

Prime Minister Blair: E.O. 13526, section 1.4(b)(d)

HELEN THOMAS: They didn’t do anything to you or to our country.

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: Look —- excuse me for a second, please. Excuse me for a second. They did. The Taliban provided safe haven for al-Qaeda. That’s where al-Qaeda trained -—

HELEN THOMAS: I’m talking about Iraq —

"In the days after 9/11, Blair suggested I visit America to satisfy my concerns.

It was arranged for me to meet Vice President Dick Cheney in the White House. He appeared via video link from a secret location."

http://www.lalibre.be/actu/international/blair-et-bush-sont-des-criminels-le-temoignage-d-un-ancien-entrepreneur-belge-en-irak-578640c1357086b3e0cfd49c

"La deuxième guerre en Irak est basée non pas sur un doute mais sur un énorme mensonge, explique l'entrepreneur belge Gérard Delruelle, ancien président de Cockerill-Sambre, mais aussi ex-patron de Sybetra (NDLR : syndicat belge des travaux, soit un groupement de l'industrie belge pour exporter des usines clé en main)...

...Saddam Hussein n'était pas une menace ni pour la Grande-Bretagne, ni pour les Etats-Unis. Bush et Blair ont trompé leur monde. C'est maintenant admis. Cette deuxième intervention occidentale en Irak a causé la débandade de l'Irak. Depuis que les Américains sont intervenus, ce sont des attentats tous les jours. Daech est né de ces décisions mensongères. Le temps a passé et celui de la vérité est arrivé : Georges W. Bush, Dick Cheney et Tony Blair sont des criminels que l'Histoire reconnaîtra comme tels.

"People with differing opinions often don't talk to one another, and that's dangerous, he [Blair] said.
