Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair offered a half-hearted apology today for the deaths in the Iraq War, insisted he “deeply and profoundly” regretted the deaths of troops and Iraqi civilians, sparking angry shouts of “too late” from protesters who were related to those who have died in the war.
“Your lies killed my son,” one of the protesters declared, as Blair detailed how “up for” the invasion of Iraq he had been. Concerns are likely to grow even worse, however, as Blair segued from his “regrets” into his designs for a new, even bigger war in neighboring Iran.
Blair insisted the Iranians “disagree fundamentally with our way of life” and that they had to be answered with military force of arms. He added that it was time for America and Britain to “get our heads out of the sand” and attack Iran.
It suggests then that Blair’s “regrets” don’t imply a lesson learned, as his case for war with Iran, which he seems just as eager to start as the war with Iraq, is based on many of the same false allegations and mindless jingoism.
Blair, like many other Western leaders, should be in prison.
No, he should be hanged, like other war criminals.
This guy deserves a cruel fate……
Blair, you piece of shit lying asshole. GO away!!! Iranians do not give a rats ass about "our way of life". They simply want to produce energy for their country and for us to leave them alone. Your lies destroyed two countries, killed millions of people and sparked the economic, moral depression that our world lies in today. If not for the trillions of dollars spent on these wars, our banks would have not need "bailouts", our country would not be in such severe debt. The ellimination of glass stiegel act, liar loans, 9/11 "terrorist" attacks, false flag attacks repeatedly, homeland security, cctv on every corner, patriot act allowing any citizen to be hauled away at any time for any reason. You and your puppet master Bush and his neo con, pnac writing bastard controllers, chenney, rumsfield, wolfiwitz. You destroyed our world. How about you go to war with iran along with the rest of your death dealing bastard friends and leave the peaceful, happy people of this planet alone?
Psychopath extraordinaire. What does it tell the world about the zombies who elected him 2-3 times?
‘… Blair insisted the Iranians “disagree fundamentally with our way of life” …’
No they don’t. Again the deliberate conflation of people and government. Like most people they like the American style of life and the consumer goods. They do dislike being killed and being held onder corrupt govern ents in sway to the US government.
How many dead Muslims is enough – 6,000,001?
Actually his boss is Lord Levy…need I say more?
To be honest , Iran is not responsible of the debt crisis.
China is an openly communist society, steeped in both communist rule and traditional Chines culture. Thus, it cannot be argued persuasively that China "agrees" fundamentally with what Blair refers to as our (meaning: the west's) way of life. Rather; it is an undeniable fact that, like Iran, China "disagrees fundamentally with [the west's] way of life". Under Blair's dubious doctrine, China has every right to attack the u.k. Blair essentially argues that his nation, because of its superior "way of life" has the right to military attack other nations merely because those others might disagree with his "way of life". Such a doctrine, if it were to be announced by a Muslim nation, would be considered a declaration of war by Blair and many other western rulers.
Blair is a dangerous man because of his ill-gotten and much abused political clout. However, a more dangerous characteristic possessed by Blair – the one that really should not be overlooked – is the fact that the man is a psychopath and a fool.
People such as Blair, those you would not trust to walk your dog, should be kept far away from ordinary members of society as a general rule. Never should such psychologically challenged people be allowed to participate in the life and death decision-making of a nation. To allow such dangerous people near the helm is the biggest gamble a nation could take. The u.k gambled with Blair – much to its detriment. Now, Blair (playing the role of a god) suggests another foray into Iran as though human lives are a cheap commodity to be used for career building and book sales. If Blair is not a psychopath, there surely are none on the planet.
1-When people like Blair or Dick Cheney or George W. Bush use such wording as “‘The fact is they are doing it because they disagree fundamentally with our way of life and they will carry on doing it unless they are met with the requisite determination and, if necessary, force.’ what do they mean by it.., that west is “civilized” and people in Middle East are not.., that West can and will and have done nothing for the people in Middle east or anywhere they been putting their footing but wars and wars again and brought to them nothing but Kings and dictatorial regimes feeding their puppets with the west military equipments to keep them in power, dividing people in fractions where the west been stealing their wealth not paying them and keep them poor’s, treating them as if they were not humans.., look at you Blair, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and people like you have done to this world and your “civilized world” nothing but creating more and more homeless people, more and more unemployed, more and more killed young solders and more and more misery to the people of Middle East and Africa.., look at Congo.., people still killing each other because you started this killings by not letting democracy in Congo or any other part of this world to grow..,
2-look at Congo.., people still killing each other because you started this killings by not letting democracy in Congo or any other part of this world to grow.., Let me tell you something Mr. Blair; the liar and every Sunday church visitor who changed his religion for the sake of self and political interests.., you never worked for the people of England to improve their way of life but rather for Oil companies, English Monarchs’ and your militarism regime.., if you or your war friends hade any moral understanding and yes if you were “civilized” you and them would have reported yourself to international court of Justice as war criminals.., because your alike in US and EU working hard for justice not to prevail.., meanwhile you still killing Palestinians and you are there watching the atrocity to continue.
Blair let millions of hostile third world muslims into Britain on his watch. Then he helps invade Iraq. He endangers Britons at home and abroad. What a moron.
Another war criminal is NATO SG Fogh Rasmussen. He lied to the Parliament and invaded Iraq with his friends Blair and Bush. He should be in prison too.
tony made a lot of money getting out kids killed. He knows that a war on Iran will bring in bigger profits and he will collect handsome bonus from the war machine. Tony is a true prostitute like most of those that call for expansion of the empire in the middle east. Tony is much like a rattle snake and why do people expect anything but to be bitten by a snake?
It is unfair to liken this monster with a rattle snake.
Liar ,traitor, mass murderer.No regrets about Iraq and thinks war with Iran is a good idea !!!Why is this monster still walking our streets. Throw him to his victims!
In Blairs World….
A PEACE envoy calls for WAR
WAR IS PEACE
Our Democratic representatives call for austerity measures
SLAVERY IS FREEDOM
We are told to tighten our belts and work a bit harder
WORK MAKES YOU FREE
Welcome to Blairs Brave New World Order , where innocent whistleblowers are arrested for having consentual heterosexual sex ,while war criminals have laws changed so they can walk our streets unmolested and the government covers for active paedophiles just like Vatican
ITS TIME FOR REAL CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!
Can I recommend DIRECT DEMOCRACY aka TRUE DEMOCRACY
Its what saved Iceland and guarantees Switzerland its quality of living.
We live with representative democracy aka ELECTED DICTATORSHIP!!
Tony Blair rules as a dictator ,that is why he can admit guilt and know NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
If we lived in a true democracy he would be in jail now with all his assets stripped!!
