" ive seen the evidence(w.m.d.)and if i didnt do anything id never forgive myself" blair said that after coming back from talks hold on some island in the middle of nowhere, one f ucking liar!

The US soldiers had been wearing `in memory of 9/11` stickers on their helmets in Iraq.
The financial elitist establishment succeeded in the brainwashing process of the cannon fodder. |
|
By:
Bush and Blair are not responsible for what is happening in Iraq now.Obama is President and a weak one.
He has left Iraq at the mercy of fanatics. America should having won the war have been ruthless and governed Iraq and forced and upheld western v.alues This would be financed by oil for the benefit of the US and Iraq. |
|
By:
How could they win the war without 1000`s of troops being killed? The American people wanted out, Obama run his campaign on this.
How can you force democracy on tribal people lfc? Your suggestion would be to feed fire with fire. |

*fight fire with fire

The technology is there to enable the US to govern Iraq. Every section of the country should be under camera
survailance,i would even say every citizen. Israel has shown that by building security terrorists csn be stopped |
|
By:
so turn Iraq into an open air jail with camara recording all move is the answer? no
|
|
By:
This is the future for all countries, and it should not be dismissed outright. Surprisingly if people were to
record and store everything they did daily, and do this themselves, they may find it increases their freedoms and democracy. |
|
By:
They seem to be able to kill one another without the help of the west!!
|

By:
That is 1984
 lfc1971, and you won't like if/when it comesAmerica should having won the war have been ruthless and governed Iraq and forced and upheld western v.alues no they should not, Iraq now have a democratically elected Islamic Fundamentalist government that's it, we can do no more and we are responsible for the current situation in Iraq, because it could only have happened if somebody removed Saddam and I say again this has little to do with not the reason we invaded, that is the lie |
|
By:
Ebul it dosn't matter if a government that is not democratic has been voted in. America should not have
allowed anything other than a western style democracy and this should have been imposed under US rule. |
|
By:
lfc You would escalate radicalisation with that ideology.
Once again you can not force western style democracy on tribal people. |

the feckers looted over $400 Million from Mosul Central Bank yesterday. Hope it doesn't go to their head!

Blair did win elections on the snaff, but Id suggest had we known then what we do now then he certainly wouldn't.
He was counter the saying, he was the manifestation of a polished turd. A wolf in sheep's clothing and an individual whom emulated thatcherism that sacrifices the interests of society at the benefit of self. Thatcher said when asked what was her biggest legacy, 'New Labour' About the only thing I'd have agreed with. |
|
By:
It's the politician's job to trick the public into believing their version of stats and ideology and attempt to hide the extent of self serving.
Blair at the time was good at it, but just like the sex offenders who were 'good' at their thing previously, time has a way of catching up with you. |
|
By:
you may mean well lfc1971
but you are wrong, they have a western style democracy because we forced it on them look at the result .....Angel Gabrial is right, it does not work with tribal peopleIf we wanted a peaceful Iraq, simple, leave Saddam Hussein in place not much we can do about that now |
|
By:
the capitalism behemoth needs growth, and other people's growth is fair game....all the rest is blather to get the public on side.
|

By:
Moisok is right in saying these people are extremely warlike
but our interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya were also extremely warlike The sad truth is, we love war as a species, all we do is look for an excuse, if we don't see that soon, I see no future for us Imposing a 1984 world on us is not the answer, no individual would have any privacy or freedom of choice, we would be prisoners of whatever government was in power..that is another bleak option facing the human race |
|
By:
Libya only happened after Gaddafi refused to pay the 95bn the british government billed him for financing and arming the IRA
Until he refused all the talk was about re-integration and blair fondled his nutsack |

By:
If we start wars on the basis of unpaid debts....we in for a lot of war

By:
I feel sorry for the families of the soldiers who lost their lives or returned with no legs or other disabilities. FOR WHAT!!
Forget about killing them in Iraq and Afghanistan-the British Government can't even keep them out of schools in Birmingham. At least the march of Militant Islam is up front in Iraq. In Britain it is insidious- Birmingham Schools, the Tower Hamlets Mayoral election, the inability to remove them on grounds of human rights, the no go areas of London patrolled by Islamists (eg Acton). The Islamic Republic of Britain gets closer by the minute. |

O'Bama stirring and seeing a casus belli it seems.
|
|
By:
Obama say his government is looking at all options
including military action, to help Iraq fight Islamist militants Haig has ruled out our military involvement we will offer humanitarian aid only Clegg said something sensible for once, referring to 2003 war I don't think having made one mistake, you repeat it by making a second one It is a difficult situation, these type of countries need government by the strongest, not by democracy only then do you get order and law |
|
By:
Governments of any persuasion are useless, if they cannot impose order and law imo
Because that is what most ordinary people want, so they can get on with their daily lives |
|
By:
I wonder what B.liar has got say now?
I remember him saying, ok we've not found any wmd's but isn't it great that Saddam's gone? I'm sure Al Qaeda would be in agreement. |

By:
I think you mean the prophetic words of the great george w bush.
''fool me once erm shame on you.....fool me twice, ermmm....I mean fool me or something, fool me and you cant fool me again' Or sumat along those lines |
