Too true to be strange

And after we bomb Cambodia, I’ve instructed the National Guard to shoot four students at an Ohio college…

Michael Smith, the London Sunday Times reporter who broke the story of the Downing Street memo has followed up with two more pieces. It seems, in his piece from last Sunday, that the Americans were bombing Iraq in order to provoke Saddam six weeks before the American Congress authorized military action against Iraq.

Today in the LA Times, he explains it a bit further.

So what we have here is pretty good evidence, supplied by the British government itself, that Bush actually started the war in Iraq without Congressional authorization. I seem to recall secret U.S. bombing under a previous president.

Is it just me, or does that seem a little more serious than a few stains on a blue Gap dress? But, I could be wrong. What do you think?

(Thanks to my friend Kit for pointing out Smith’s LA Times piece today.)
