Blair takes the stand..

Blair is the man as far as I am concerned.

...

As far Saddam being an ally of Al Qaida/Iran: Firstly how dumb are you?

Saddam was an ally against fundamentalists like Al Quaeda and Iran

How dumb are you NorthWestPerm2Contr?!

That was weird. Trying to watch it on BBC World News and my digital TV box crashed. Never had that happen before.

The fate of Iraq was arleady articulated using a few sentences in the 'Axis of evil' speech authored by Bush's speech writer the Zionist Neocon - David Frum. No surprises if Iran is next in line as it couldn't escape the paragraph.

The most you are going to get out of him is "maybe we got a few things wrong but I stand by the war based upon the intelligence given to us at the time".

Covers all the bases really.

Listening to the radio, that just about sums it up. I thought it was a pretty polished performance from Mr Blair.

Much as I hate to say it, he does come across rather well...

Before going into politics Tony Blair was a barrister. He job was to bend the truth to its maximum and avoid outright lying. He knows how to make a speech in order to take in the gullible twelve members of the jury or as it is now, the public.

Don't be taken in by the trembling lip and the furrowed brow. This is a very, very finely honed lying machine you are witnessing. This man wouldn't recognise the truth if it was in the shape of a supertanker that ran him over.

thats why we have judges. To see through the words and to make a judgement.

Unfortunately its usually its history that judges (in this country), so we wont see the bsterd swing. Unlike old Sadaam, who swung quite well.


And for all the tits who say Sadaam was a bad man and deserved to be toppled, feel free to join the army and lobby for a war against China, or Russia, or ...... well the list is too long

The words of Blair

“9/11changed everything. It was one of the reasons why the British and Americans invaded Iraq. Because Saddam had links with al-Qa'ida, so said the Americans,and might give them [al-Qa’ida] weapons of mass destruction,”

Blair contradicts himself:

“Post Invasion, people did not think that al-Qa'ida and Iran would play the role that they did. (in other words there was no al-Qa'ida before the invasion.”

“We didn't kill 100,000 Iraqis It was the terrorists, al-Qa'ida,”

"It's a constant problem for Israel," he informed us. "They use great force in retaliation. Before you've gone two weeks, they're [Palestinians] the people that started it all."

"conversations with Israelis". What? Israelis? At the critical Crawford meeting? Israel was the only nation – apart from the US and Britain – that totally supported the war, indeed encouraged it.”
