i used to admire tony blair, but no more. he's joined to bush at the hip in this imperialism and war, and he deserves no respect. something stinks about 9/11 and something stinks about the London attacks. bush and blair are the iraq war guys, and they are up to no good at all folks.

for reasons i don't quite understand, blair has sold his soul to bushco, and whatever ugliness ensues from bushco stains tony blair too. fuck tony blair. blair is as bad for England as bush is for America, and the two of them threaten us all.

1. Blair tried to take Bush in a different direction...the U.N., wait for the
inspectors to finish. He did what he could on that, but what makes Tony a truly foolish figure is that when the chips were down and the world needed him to make a stand, he became Bush's lag dog. I used to admire him, too. Now, I see him as a tragic figure, a guy who could've been great, threw all his promise away. The day Blair became complicit to Bush's folly, is the day Tony Blair smeared his legacy and shamed his country. He'll rue it for the rest of his life too.

2. "he's joined to bush at the hip "
He is joined to Bush, but not at the hip. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Well, unless you're one of his other Mandates.

3. Blair knew the intelligence and facts were being "fixed"...
around the policy (DSM) and went along with bush anyway. Blair is just as quilty. I find it hard to believe our congress didn't know facts were being "fixed" and therefore they are just as guilty for enabling bush to conduct this illegal war.

4. "blair is as bad for England as bush is for America"
On issues of foreign policy, perhaps. Certainly not so for issues of domestic policy.

Analysis

False flag over London

By John Leonard
Online Journal Contributing Writer

July 8, 2005—Yesterday we saw a classic false flag attack in London, organized by western secret services to distract attention from the deepening political troubles of Bush and Blair, and perhaps even to create the pretext for war on Iran. Of course, Bush and his poll ratings have been sinking under scandals and rumblings of impeachment. Blair too has been badly hurt by the Downing Street memo.

<snip>
Yesterday's fiction was a "secret" group affiliated—oh how wonderfully convenient—with Al Qaeda and Al Zarqawi. Yet the state-owned BBC itself has established that Al Qaeda does not even exist, in its documentary film, "The Terror Myth." And just this week Dahr Jamail wrote of his trip to the town of Zarqa, on the trail of the fabled Zarqawi. The man's family believe he died years ago—no recent photos exist. Certain is only that the mythical Zarqawi's base of operations always pops up wherever the Americans want to attack—Fallujah, Samarra, where do you want to go tomorrow?

Some other dead giveaway signs:

-Scotland Yard warned Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu half an hour beforehand not to go to the bomb site, according to an AP wire from Jerusalem (a slip that was subsequently denied of course, but it was still up at Al Jazeera).

-An MSNBC translator says an error in a verse from the Quran in a statement by the "unknown" group couldn't have been made by Al Qaeda, and he thinks it's phony. Blair's proofreaders are falling down on their dossiers again . . . they ought to be belted or suspended.

..more..

9. yea, I know
we may never know, but certainly THEY are the ones who have proved themselves capable of any crime. Can't blame us for wondering. I blame the psycho war criminals for planting the seeds of doubt.
