THE violent insurgency in Iraq was a sign the US-led coalition was succeeding in its efforts to rebuild post-Saddam Iraq, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said today.

"We are trying to reconstruct the country," Blair, who met US President George W. Bush earlier in the day, said in an interview with NBC television news conducted at the British Embassy in Washington.

"Now, why are these people trying to stop us? They're trying to stop us because they can see that if we're allowed to continue this progress, then everything they stand for is defeated."

Asked about similar remarks in Iraq yesterday by General Richard Myers, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Blair said: "I know exactly what he means ... it's something I constantly say to people."

1. And if the British people drag Tony out of bed...

in the middle of the night and bash him to pieces, that means he was a great leader.

:eyes:

5. Can 'ya get John Howard to hit Tony in the head with a big rock

for the sake of a real historical progressive moment?

[htuttle]

13. Big Rock? I think this would be more appropriate...

[unblock]

2. we make no mistakes. we meant it like this.

we wanted to be low in the polls at this point. we welcome the commissions questions. we wanted a department of homeland security all along. it was our idea. yeah, that's the ticket. just like the $300 tac rebate checks for the poor folks. no, that wasn't a democratic proposal, you must be mismemembering things.

all we do is good, and all that happens as a result of our decisions is exactly as we wanted it to. god wouldn't have it any other way. are you questioning the ways of the lord?!

3. And when the whole country is blown to bits

we will know the mission is really accomplished.

6. heaven forbid they would want to run their own country,

P.S. I think a general strike is a good idea.

7. In the TV version Blair looked like a Boy Scout about to earn...

...a merit badge. A NeoCon merit badge.

8. How much "success" can we stand?

And what did we do to deserve all this "success?"

[rustydog]

9. Didn't England say the same thing about the "colonials"

during the American Revolution?

Have these neocon fools and England's idiot PM learned nothing from history?

[nodehopper]

10. by that logic--Apocalypse is the ultimate validation from God

11. "Goebbels says his and hitler's upcoming suicides sign of success"

hitler's minister of information released a statement to the press moments before he killed himself and his family, saying that their deaths, and those of the fuhrer, hiw mistress, and their faithful dog, were in reaction to reports that the allied invasion had been rebuffed, and that they could now retire to Valhalla, where the inception of the Fourth Reich, or the Ten Million Year Reich, would take place upon their arrival.

12. Fantasy begets Foolishness

[pinniped]

14. Lord, how many more idiots are going to spout this same BS line out?

And anyone who believes this line needs to be in a padded room.

[0rganism]

15. "War is Peace! Hate is Love! Less is More!" Somebody give him a spanking

Blair's been hanging out with shrub faaaar too much. They did something to him in Crawford, and he hasn't been the same since.
