World must forget past, help Iraq: Blair

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has appealed for more international support for Iraq and urged quick reform of world bodies such as the UN, World Bank and IMF to tackle future crises such as Iraq.

Many nations, including Germany and France, opposed the invasion of Iraq, and Blair said it was time for reconciliation not only in Baghdad but also in the international community.

"The war, I know, split the world. The struggle of Iraqis for democracy should unite it," said Blair in a foreign policy speech at Georgetown University.

...

"I don't want to repeat or to reopen past arguments. I want to advocate a new concord to displace the old contention," said Blair, who visited Baghdad this week to meet the new government.

Blair said nations may not agree with the original decision to invade Iraq, be critical of mistakes made by the coalition or wonder if it was all worth the sacrifice.

1. Why help the theocracy we put in power?

Screw them! Let the pro-Iranian Iraqi government fall!

[Oversea Visitor]

2. World need you to get out so can help

:puke:

Only thing that is stopping World from helping is the Chimp and his poddle.

Get the hell out and we will fix it.

GRrrrrrrr what is so difficult?

You want to see more deads use more bullets more bombs
Well go on svrewing yourself then.

[spindrifter]

3. Tony's like the guy who's trying to clean

up the eggs he dropped on the floor--some know how to do it--others leave a big mess that someone else has to deal with.

[dipsydoodle]

4. Same shit different day

Is he going to spirit all the dead troups and civilians who've died back to life too ?

[comradebillyboy]

5. Must the world forget?

why?

W and tony fucked it up, told the world to fuck off. It our problem, they aint gonna pull us off the tar baby we made. We're stuck. Oh shit!

[marmar]

6. Oh sure...

After you and Captain Asshole disregarded everything the rest of the world said, and even tried to isolate and humiliate your longtime allies, so that you could create this epic disaster. Yeah, let's let by-gones be by-gones and help out Iraq.
On behalf of the rest of the world, GO FUCK YOURSELF, T.B.!!! Twice.

[pooja]

7. Now we f***ed it up... Please help us fix it.

It is just getting too expensive. Plus we want the money from the oil.

[atreides1]

8. Hey Tony

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

I guess Tony would feel comfortable if we forgot the Holocaust, I mean after all Germany is our friend now, and we all know that genocide can't happen again, as long as we forget it.

NOT!!!!!!

[struggle4progress]

17. Yep. Bliar wants us to repeat the past. But, this time, in Iran.

[pretzel4gore]

9. tony blair is a war criminal....

the usa executes murderers who commit their crimes in conjunction with some other crime (robbery, rape, or extortion etc)...blairbush planned the unprovoked assult on iraq as mediafiller to prevent quiet rational examination of the events that led up to 911, especially the 2k US government coup d'etat...

[Thickasabrick]

10. Wouldn't they just love the world to forget the past......

and all the criminal manipulation that was used to launch this disaster. One day, when we have real representation in Washington, the guilty will have to answer for their crimes. Why is there no outrage in the MSM about Roberts continuing to sit on the investigation of intelligence manipulation? It drives me nuts!

[rocktivity]

11. Translation: Forget Iraq's past so we won't be held accountable

:evilgrin:
rocknation

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

12. "Forget all that other bullshit. We're right this time!"

An exact translation.

[Zorra]

13. Sign at Iraq Border: "You Break It, You Bought It"

Blair and Bu*h, and the rest of the architects of the disaster in Iraq should be made personally financially responsible to the Iraqi people.

The Iraq war is their "child". They should be forced to pay child support.

[keopeli]

14. World "must"? Not even a "pretty please"?

Face it Britain and US, you broke Iraq all on your own.

You wouldn't LET anyone help you initially, remember? Because you wanted all the 'spoils of war' for yourself? Remember?

Remember, after you started this war, other countries offered to help as it was getting bad, and you turned them down because you didn't want anyone else to get a piece of your 'war pie', remember that?

Now, 3 years later, you start saying things we were SHOUTING at you 3 and 4 years ago!

Go f*%k yourself.

[daleo]

15. Let's just let bygones be bygones, eh Tiny?

After all, what do a hundred thousand dead innocents matter really?

How do you sleep?

[sweetheart]

16. Pravda is more honest about that...

[modrepub]

18. Wait

I thought elephants never forget? If we do doesn't that make us jack asses?

[0007]

19. I can forgive ignorance, but I can't forgive a cold calculating

greedy asshole that is making absolutely no attempt to rectify situation other than saying they'd do the same thing again with no regret.

[sweetheart]

20. blair is poorly advised

An advisor of his wrote this:

"The world we live in is ordered by American power. Supporting
the US is natural and honourable policy fort hose who benefit from
its protection.
- Robert Cooper, Prospect, pp.44 (foreign affairs advisor to bliar)

Clearly blair can't afford people who know anything about the dynamic inside the US, and
how losing an election is not a mandate, how the US people are far closer to "labour" than
republicans, and were he truly supporting the "US" (its people, and not its kapital), he
would have broken support even if it cost him uncertainty. Instead his cowardly action
has destroyed all western integrity:

Without Mr Blair's support in Iraq the president might not have won re-election in 2004,..
<snip>"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,1784260,00.html

Blair, more than anyone on earth, is responsible for the bush wars, the mass murder
and the ugly tomfoolery, all because he's not a clue about the real political dynamics
of the US, and prefers rather to worship at the facile ideal of a monolithic USA.

I hope it was a good sloppy fuck tony, as you sold out a billion people for it. scumbag.

[BlueStater]

21. The world doesn't owe you anything

You expect them to actually help you and your buddy Bush after that moron treated them like shit? Dream on.

[Martin Eden]

22. Blair's argument is based on the false premise ...

... that the nature of the mission is to create a free and independent Iraq. He ignores the permanent US military bases being built and the PNAC Pax Americana. The invasion of Iraq was neither a hunt for WMD nor a humanitarian intervention on behalf of the Iraqi people. It was a projection of American power into a region with the world's most strategic natural resource. It was, and is, an effort to establish a state in Iraq that remains dependent on the United States.
