A bombshell White House memo has revealed for the first time details of the 'deal in blood' forged by Tony Blair and George Bush over the Iraq War.

The sensational leak shows that Blair had given an unqualified pledge to sign up to the conflict a year before the invasion started.

It flies in the face of the Prime Minister's public claims at the time that he was seeking a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

He told voters: 'We're not proposing military action'– in direct contrast to what the secret email now reveals.

The damning memo, from Secretary of State Colin Powell to President George Bush, was written on March 28, 2002, a week before Bush's famous summit with Blair at his Crawford ranch in Texas.

In it, Powell tells Bush that Blair 'will be with us' on military action. Powell assures the President: 'The UK will follow our lead'.

The disclosure is certain to lead for calls for Sir John Chilcot to reopen his inquiry into the Iraq War if, as is believed, he has not seen the Powell memo.

A second explosive memo from the same cache also reveals how Bush used 'spies' in the Labour Party to help him to manipulate British public opinion in favour of the war.

The documents, obtained by The Mail on Sunday, are part of a batch of secret emails held on the private server of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton which U.S. courts have forced her to reveal.

Former Tory Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said: 'The memos prove in explicit terms what many of us have believed all along: Tony Blair effectively agreed to act as a frontman for American foreign policy in advance of any decision by the House of Commons or the British Cabinet.

'He was happy to launder George Bush's policy on Iraq and sub-contract British foreign policy to another country without having the remotest ability to have any real influence over it. And in return for what?

‘For George Bush pretending Blair was a player on the world stage to impress voters in the UK when the Americans didn't even believe it themselves'.

Davis was backed by a senior diplomat with close knowledge of Blair-Bush relations who said: 'This memo shows beyond doubt for the first time Blair was committed to the Iraq War before he even set foot in Crawford.

‘And it shows how the Americans planned to make Blair look an equal partner in the special relationship to bolster his position in the UK.'

Blair's spokesman insisted last night that Powell's memo was 'consistent with what he was saying publicly at the time'.

The former Prime Minister has always hotly denied the claim that the two men signed a deal 'in blood' at Crawford to embark on the war, which started on March 20, 2003.

The Powell document, headed 'Secret… Memorandum for the President', lifts the lid on how Blair and Bush secretly plotted the war behind closed doors at Crawford.

An objective look at the world today will clearly reveal that a disproportionate number of people in positions of power in Western countries have Jewish names. For those who are the brunt of the nefarious activities of Western foreign policy, particularly the Middle East, "the Jews" then become the logical scapegoat. Fueling their suspicion is the enduring popularity of the notorious Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, which outline an intricate and centuries-old Judeo-Masonic conspiracy to bring about a New World Order, to be governed by the "King of the Jews."

To the unbiased observer, not intimidated by the cowardly tactics of the media, who dismiss any research into conspiracies as "paranoid," the Protocols present a remarkable similarity to events as they appear to be unfolding. However, there is a deeper plot afoot than conspiracy researchers believe they discover by reading the Protocols, and that is the devious ruse of deliberately cultivating anti-Semitism in support of the Zionist cause.

The Protocols seem to be a product of such an audacious scheme.

An armada of carriers, destroyers, submarines and a cruiser have gathered off Japan’s coast in a display of naval power that showcased Tokyo’s latest warships and signalled wider engagement by the US Navy in the western Pacific.

The fleet review in seas near Tokyo yesterday was the first major display of Japanese military hardware since Prime Minister Shinzo Abe won lawmaker approval for legislation that, for the first time since World War II, will allow Japanese soldiers to defend their foreign allies.

Mr Abe is pursuing a doctrine of collective self-defence with allies which is meant to give Japan a bigger role in regional security in order to counterbalance the military power of an increasingly assertive China.

Neighbouring China – which is involved in maritime disputes in the East China Sea with Japan, and in the South China Sea with several South-east Asian countries – has said that it is wary of Japan’s changing defence posture. Mr Abe, in an address after the maritime show, told sailors to gird themselves for future missions and “to continue to guard the nation’s peace”.

Joining the Japanese navy were vessels from India, South Korea, Australia, France and the United States, including the Japan-based aircraft carrier, the 333m-long USS Ronald Reagan. Altogether, 50 vessels and 61 aircraft participated in the display, which is held every three years.

The centrepiece of Japan’s naval line-up was the Izumo helicopter carrier, Japan’s biggest warship since World War II. The 248m-long flat-top, which was commissioned in May, is a highly visible example of how Japan is expanding its military capability to operate overseas.

The Maritime Self-Defence Force designates the vessel as a destroyer, keeping it within the bounds of a pacifist Constitution that forbids Japan from possessing the means to wage war, such as force-projecting carriers.

In a signal that the Japanese navy’s growing role in Asia will be accompanied by the US fleet’s wider engagement in the region, the US Navy sent Vice-Admiral Nora Tyson, commander of the powerful Eastern Pacific Third Fleet, to join Mr Abe on his ship.

As Canada’s political leaders make their last bid for votes ahead of Monday’s election, the campaigns are focusing on immigrant communities – and areas that have swung politically in the last election. Brampton, a suburb of Toronto, is both.

“Does anyone have the leader’s jacket?”

Liberal Party standard-bearer Justin Trudeau had just jumped off his campaign bus sporting a black varsity jacket with a maple leaf and “Canada” emblazoned on the back in large red letters. As a cold rain fell in the north-west Toronto suburb of Brampton, he pressed through a crowd and into a local cafe frequented by the area’s sizable Indian population.

Now a staffer had emerged from the restaurant, concerned that a supporter had nabbed a rather unique campaign souvenir.

Also nearly lost in the throng were two Liberal parliamentary candidates who could be critical to Mr Trudeau’s quest to become the next prime minister of Canada – Ramesh Sangha and Ruby Sahota.

Both are challenging incumbents in Brampton parliamentary races, a traditionally left-leaning area that was carried by the Conservative Party when Prime Minister Stephen Harper won a parliamentary majority in 2011.

It was a campaign that lasted so long it went through several distinct waves, each convulsion pushing and pulling voters in new directions.

Ten days after Conservative Leader Stephen Harper showed up at Rideau Hall on the hot and hazy August long weekend and the campaigns got off to a lazy start, his former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, was on the stand at the criminal trial of Senator Mike Duffy.

Wright’s testimony, and that of others from the Prime Minister’s Office, would dominate the campaign for two full weeks, fuelling a constant barrage of awkward questions for Harper that infuriated his supporters.

“Mr. Harper has not been truthful with Canadians. That has become abundantly clear from the emails that have been released and Canadians deserve better,” charged the energized NDP Leader Tom Mulcair.

But as summer dragged on and the trial was put on hiatus, attention drifted elsewhere — until this Sunday, when Benjamin Perrin, the former lawyer in the PMO throughout the Duffy affair, issued a statement saying the Conservatives were unfit to govern.

By the end of August, the Duffy wave had been swept away by the deficit wave. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau broke with convention and declared he had no intention of balancing the books for the first couple of years of a Liberal government — all while accusing his rivals for being disingenuous for claiming they would.
