Pastor 'Shames' Blair and Bush at Funeral of Scottish Soldier

[GreenPartyVoter]

A church minister addressing mourners at the funeral of a British soldier killed in Iraq blamed Tony Blair and President George Bush yesterday for his death.

John Mann, an American pastor in the Church of Scotland, said the two leaders were responsible for the loss of 19-year-old Gordon Gentle and he hoped their hearts would be inscribed with the words "shame on you".

The passionate condemnation was made in front of 800 people at the funeral of Fusilier Gentle in a Glasgow suburb. The 6ft 2in soldier, nicknamed "Soft", was killed 10 days ago when a home-made bomb exploded under his Land Rover while he was on patrol in the southern Iraqi city of Basra.

He had joined the Royal Highland Fusiliers three months before his deployment to Iraq and had just finished basic training.
