woolley Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 So, when is Tony B Liar getting his day in court? Never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Observing Blair responding to the Chilcot Inquiry report, I genuinely wonder if he hasn't lost his mind. He reminds me of some deluded individuals claiming to hear voices guiding them to commit some atrocity or other. When challenged that he was the one who suggested a coalition, he replied with something along the lines of "I wanted to be the first 'phone call that President Bush called". He also stated that the early days of the conflict (don't mention 'war' as Geneva Convention rules may apply) were very successful. I remember well the awful images of the Shock and Awe attacks slaughtering goodness knows who on the ground. Heart breaking stuff. "I take full responsibility" he claims before blaming the intelligence reports for his subsequent actions. He disregarded the reports by UNMOVIC head, Dr Hans Blix, and rushed headlong into conflict with Bush Jnr like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Then the atrocious insult of his being appointed as Middle East Peace Envoy, in which (Gee, this is just to say thanks for being there Tony) role he seems to have networked his way into the tents of some of the most dubious creatures on the planet while Iraqi children scavenge to survive. He's now making millions while other people have died or been maimed and families destroyed on both sides. There aren't enough words to describe my sheer, unadulterated detestation of this man. I suspect that the man is sliding into lunacy. /rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 you are right about the "shock and awe" addie.. they were so proud of it at the time. the shock was for them whilst the awe was from us watching at home on the television Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 but still the emphasis is on the 179 british lives lost during the conflict. at least 20 of those would have been blue on blue courtesy of of our whizzing off their tits special cousins the yanks. and probably 10-15 in accidents, crashes etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Most of this came out before he won his last election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 The tales of inadequate equipment for the troops, some of which had to be responsible for increased loss of life or life-changing injuries is incredible. The average mother prepares her baby's nappy bag with more attention to supplies therein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 but that would have given the game away. it had to appear to be a reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Good post Addie. I thought he was very nervous on Newsnight last night, almost like he couldn't quite get the right words out. Never supported going into Iraq, especially after Afghanistan, and what we now have is an almighty clusterfuck in the middle east with who knows who on which side.

P.K. Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Dear oh dear oh dear WHAT a feeding frenzy with the Daily Wail predictably the most hysterical of the lot. It even made some of the Spanish dailys here in Ciutadella. Lack of equipment is down to the MOD but it was ever thus. Not exhausting all possibilities is only relevant if you think you might get somewhere and totally irrelevant if you're sure you won't. Etc etc etc....

Well, that REALLY does explain a lot... Must be a crap holiday if you're spending it on here. I have a house in Spain actually and love the country very much. I merely thought that if you lived there it might logically explain your views on the other thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Menorca has been our favourite holiday spot probably for the last ten years. Simply because of the peace and quiet. If you have a house in Spain then you're very lucky. Unless, of course, it's in some god-awful Club Wally urbanization... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
