British Neo-Cons

A couple of weeks back Matthew Paris wrote an excellent article on his column at The Times. In it, he criticized the neo-cons in Britain and their shifting attitude now that it's clear that the Iraq war was a huge mistake. The article says that the British neo-cons latest spin is blaming Americans for the botch up, and it's true. After reading the article, I thought about the recent speeches and press meetings hold by different members of the Britisih Parliament and sometimes even by the members of the British Army and if you listen carefully you can notice a sentence there or a word here, constructing a rhetoric which aims to tell people "if you want someone to blame, don't blame us".
