It makes my blood boil watching Blair lying through his teeth , especially with what we know now. Moreover, to see the grief of the poor mother of the fusilier, representing so many mothers, fathers, sons, daughters !!! Why isn’t Blair in the clink !

@@sabbracadabra8367No WMDs, No “Human sized shredders”, No nuclear weapons, biological or chemical weapons programs, no yellow cake uranium from Niger, there was no threat to the international community, no connection to AI-Qaeda or 9/11, Nothing! It was all a farce, it was a mountain of lies sold to the public. The west are the once who created Saddam Hussein during the lran-lraq war. The “WMDs” lraq once possessed were provided by the west and they disarmed when they were told to.

It wasn't a mistake the people that wanted the war made there millions / billions. It's the people that pay the price and suffer. And as for Blair his family's personal fortune is around 7 billion pounds not bad for a man that was paid around 1000th a year

@HaggardPillockHD Ай бұрын

Where did you get £7 billion? It says around £50-60 million on Google. Don't get me wrong, I think Blair is a vile snake, but it's stupid to invent lies when the truth is damaging enough

You do realise that the increased refugees are a direct result of the invasion of Iraq by the west, as was ISIS, the Arab spring uprising and generally destabilising the middle east and the biggest cause was the west removing Gaddafi from Libya. In 1986, Gaddafi stated that if the western powers removed him, they would regret it. He was the gate keeper to the African nations stopping them from crossing the Med into Europe. He was proved totally right. So why are you blaming refugees for the consequences of successive British governments actions to bomb their homelands. Every action has a consequence. Britain is now reeping the whirlwind of its actions.

Well, let me be the sole objector to all the negativism about Iraq. Iraq was a necessary war from the point of view of the larger struggle against radical Islam. This struggle began long before 9/11, and is still ongoing. What Iraq should have opened the world's eyes to was the throwback moral depravity of the Arab-Muslim world, its inability to look forward or to compromise. Tribal and sectarian concerns always trump national ones, and they would prefer to tear their own country to pieces than unite to rebuild it. Arrogance takes precedence over humility and pragmatism, and raw power is the only currency which is recognized and respected. Men like Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden were the natural product of their parent culture. This is an embarrassing truth which the Arab world refuses to acknowledge, and seeks to blame others for. Any war on terrorism--Islamic terrorism in particular--must be fought in the heart of its own region. This was the true reason for the invasion of Iraq.
