Billmon: National Bocialism

This almost sounds like something out of a Monty Python sketch:

Tony Blair decided to wage war on Iraq after coming under the influence of a "sinister" group of Jews and Freemasons, a Muslim barrister who advises the Prime Minister has claimed.

Ahmad Thomson, from the Association of Muslim Lawyers, said Mr Blair was the latest in a long line of politicians to have been influenced by the group which saw the attack on Saddam Hussein as a way to control the Middle East.

It turns out that Mr. Thomson is actually a convert to Islam, born Martin Thomson in the late, great racist state of Rhodesia.
