1. Gift wrapped in a tidy box, by GWB
But don't take pictures of that box! It might upset the "values" voters who are so high on morality.

2. Warning-contains swearing........

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3984575.stm

Two Ptes, aged 19,22,& Sgt. A teenager,a fucking teenager! You fucking stupid c*nt, Blair...it is obvious this was for the benefit of the fascist Chimp,and equally obvious that these are not the last to die.

When the latter-day Wehrmacht starts to kill the innocent Iraqis in Falluja, US troops=British troops.

Also this on the translator;
"Lt Col Cowan also paid tribute to an unnamed Iraqi interpreter, who had postponed his wedding to travel north with the battle group from Basra, who was also killed in the attack on the day he was due to get married."

7. It gets worse
Meanwhile, it emerged that Private McArdle was to become a dad for the first time. The 22-year-old private from Collydean was expecting a baby girl in January with his childhood sweetheart, who was also his fiancee.

11. Blair has departed from the rule of law, says his former adviser
The media are downplaying this, but the Indie tucked it away for dedicated questers to find...




Tony Blair's former senior diplomatic adviser on Europe (described as an "ultra loyal mandarin") has accused the Prime Minister, and George Bush, of acting illegally over the war on Iraq.

In a speech last night, Sir Stephen Wall, who served under Baroness Thatcher, John Major and Mr Blair before leaving Downing Street this year, questioned the Prime Minister's judgement and accused him of "departing from the rule of law".

....

"I believe that in Britain we allowed our judgement of the direct consequences of inaction to override our judgement of the even more dire consequences of departing from the rule of law," he said.

In a sideswipe at Mr Blair, he added that to portray the choice as between effective action American-style, and inaction European or UN-style, was a caricature.

4. The world's gone fucking crazy
The BBC just reported that the Scot Nats are being criticised for making the death of the 3 soldiers "political". Oh right - so the sacrifice of 3 lives by one christian bigot to satisfy another isn't political?
In a related development Hoon has insisted that the Black Watch WILL be home for Christmas.
At this rate he's probably right.

5. I heard that fucker on the radio saying the same thing this morning
I really am getting upset about Blair & Hoon. Normally I take a sort of "can't take a joke, shouldn't have joined" attitude. But that fucker saying the Scot Nats are scoring political points, when you sent them in to take hits for GWB. Fuck you Mr. Hoon.

6. And Menzies Campbell
joined in with the Labour and Tory attacks on the Scots Nats for telling the truth! Whether or not they died "heroically" it doesn't change the fact that they died because of the unscrupulous political calculations which are the hallmark of the Bush/Blair axis.

8. The SNP is right, Labour has lost it
and sold out the people of scotland. That those boys died for
bush's relection makes me even sadder. I hope their relatives
make blair pay in blood for murdering their kids.

9. I don't always go along with Alex Salmon ...
.. but it was refreshing to hear a mainstream politician telling it like it is. Being a Scot in the UK must feel like being a New Englander in the US at the moment.

10. 4 dead now
"The Black Watch battle group in Iraq are urgently reviewing tactics after the third attack on Camp Dogwood troops in five days killed a fourth soldier...

In Monday's incident, a Warrior armoured vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb just after dark, killing one soldier instantly and injuring two others.

David Loyn said the blast was powerful enough to blow the vehicle off the road, taking the wheels off one side. "

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3994627.stm

I heard a reporter on the radio the other day - he either made a massive Freudian slip or else accidentally used an existing nickname, but he definitely referred to "Camp Dogfood" before correcting himself.

And that's what Blair has turned our guys into - fucking dogfood.

Thanks Tony. Will you have the balls to go to the funerals?

12. And it's not just the Black Watch
C4 now reporting that Margaret Hassan was shot in the head, and has joined the long list of those who have paid Blair's blood price.
Still, Bliar has sent the family his sympathy. Which is more than he had done for the families of the 16,546 Iraqi civilians murdered by coalition forces.
I wish I were a Christian, because at least I'd have the comfort that he'd face eternal damnation for what he's done.

13. Blair must be rotten with the pox
Edited on Tue Nov-16-04 05:02 PM by fedsron2us
from all the whoring he has been doing in Washington. Sympathy offered by this Bush catamite or his pimp Geoff Hoon is worth sod all.
