Is there a now a huge bronze statue of Tony Blair or George Dubya in Firdos Square, Baghdad? All ready and waiting for the Jihadists to pull down when they reach the capital?

be convenient Sultan
US are looking at intervention, but no ground troops US air power , particularly if helicopters are used could well stop this invasion through N.Iraq lots of devastation and dead bodies of course Iran has pledged to stand by Shia Muslims in the South, I don't know if Iran will move into S.Iraq or if they are just calling for volunteers to bolster the Shias, look like the latter Democracy can only return to Iraq if this latest set of invaders are driven back into Syria from whence they came since they are fighting against Assad in Syria, their arms may been supplied by the US themselves  I much prefer the name Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant to the one they have now adopted The Sunni Islamic State of Iraq and al_shams ISIS that second one is crappy, the first one sounded so much better |

The UN have condemned the Jihadists now, so that should stop them in their tracks for a while.

Has anyone else noticed the media's reluctance to call to account our politicians over this episode?
If I was a journo for the BBC I would call in any MP who voted for the invasion and ask him/her... 'Look what you've done! Look what you've ****** done!! You ignored the advice, the history, the public's huge demonstration of opposition and you stand accused of one of the biggest tragedies we've ever seen. YOU CAUSED THIS!' |

By:
THEY are all in together, Injera.
That's why THEY got stuck into UKIP before the European elections. the BBC being the worst of the lot of course |

And yet blair still won a third term after invading iraq which i find very depressing.

By:
the dossier wasnt known to be dodgy though then and nor did we actually know saddam was being forced to prove a negative....WMD
|
|
By:
We knew many had died and we knew they didnt find any WMD.
|
|
By:
I cant recall, when did they actually come out and say 'actually there are no WMD'
Or did they ever? |
|
By:
They didnt announce that they found any, i guess that suggests they didnt find any.
|
|
By:
but did they ever officially say 'we are no longer looking, since we accept they dont exist'?
Obviously if you get told they exist then any reasonable person would assume theyd need time to find them, but just to skulk off and hope nobody noticed theyd stopped would be pretty low |

Has anyone else noticed the media's reluctance to call to account our politicians over this episode? sadly I agree rob_dylan • June 13, 2014 7:59 PM BST And yet blair still won a third term after invading iraq which i find very depressing. and again The attitude seems to be, well Saddam was a bad guy, so who cares Aside from the terrible human loss of life, I think our credibility has been damaged when our government claims another threat now, people think oh yes here comes another lie We have weakened our moral position, how can we complain at Putin after what we did in Iraq truth does come out in the long run, it demands it |

I am not sure What Obabama can do
ISIS are in the Sunni bit at the moment I think he may have to throw in his air power before ISIS reach the Shia bit, then serious war breaks out I am glad Cameron has clearly stated HUMANITARIAN aid only |
|
By:
I am not sure What Obabama can do
Leave the place alone until they've all killed each other, which is what they should have done in the first place. |

blair and bush both illuminati
|
|
By:
the trouble with that looking at Wikipedia...is they are supposed to be a force for good
well I don't see blair and bush like that myself at all...still we have our different view |
|
By:
it is of course largely fictitious as well
|

By:
Tony B.liar.
What an embarrassment this c unt is. He's now saying that invading in 2003 was justified because the Arab Spring in 2011 would've removed Saddam anyway. How does he know that? |
|
By:
incredible that his words carry any credibility....you'd think he would just slink off & keep his head down & mouth shut....shows just how delusionary he is
|
|
By:
He uses the same argument religious dopes like him use you cannot prove I am wrong therefore I must be right.

I think Obama will wait to see if the Iraqi Army/Shia/Kurdish coalition can drive ISIS out on their own
I would think US air strikes would very carefully targeted to ISIS units only myself? But I think he would rather the US were not drawn in again I don't think the US public want that anymore myself |

By:
Democracy is very weak in Iraq, it barely holds up, unless large numbers of US troops are permanently stationed there,
which nobody wants Iraq is like a wolf pack, it can only be governed by the strongest as most Middle Eastern countries probably are |

Blair is mentally deranged. He should be in some sort of institution.
Instead he is on the BBC with Andrew Marr licking his anus for all he's worth |

Tony Blair - and the people that voted (blind) for Labour to govern when he was the their leader - (everbody thinks a nice face will do wonders)- THICKO total PRATTS. imo. No need for further proof.

A video on the BBC News Website today of Tony Blair telling us that what was underestimated when removing the dictatorship the outcomes the tribal/ethnic/religious tension - and this is a game changer.
