Blair as the new EU president?

Setback for Tony Blair's ambition to be president of Europe

Former prime minister, who is believed to be considering bidding for the post, faces stiffening opposition from Sweden and Spain

Why is he even considered? How strange is it that this guy still is in politics, and at that level? :shrug:
He lied his coutry into war, just as Bush did with the US. He lied Norway into war as well.
Between January 31st 2003 and April 15 2003, the British opinion swung from nearly 80 per cent against to a two thirds in favor of the Iraqi invasion, exclusively due to state propaganda against the population. Yikes, and now the EU? :D

1. Blair was heeding Bill Clinton's counsel when he supported Bush on Iraq -

Just as many Dem lawmakers did back then, believing Clinton had seen intel as president and that he wouldn't mislead them on the need for war.

2. Not everything rotates around the US, blm

We do live fully qualified lives over here too, you know ;-)
I was there, I know exactly which role Blair played in the game for the Iraqi invasion. With his bedraggled intelligence services, who faked the vital evidence needed.

So, you would support Blair as EU president, then?

On edit:
Felipe Gonzalez takes on Blair for EU presidency
He oversaw the modernisation of Spain and secured its entry into the EU; he ruled for 13 years before falling from view in a 1996 political scandal. But now Felipe Gonzalez, the charismatic former Socialist prime minister is once more stalking the land and being spoken of as a challenger to Tony Blair in the race to become the first "President of Europe".

3. Absolutely NOT - Blair and Clinton are fascism's protectors who masqueraded as working class heros

while they were both leading the left to compromise its goals as they used their power to ease the way for the global fascist agenda.

GLOBAL fascist agenda.

I don't want ANYONE who protects the Bushes and their fascist cronies in a position of power...ANYWHERE. America needs Europe to get this right.
