THIS JUST IN! WHIMPERING WAR CRIMINAL!

BULLY BOY PRESS &   CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL-AID TABLE
 

WAR CRIMINAL TONY BLAIR TOOK THE BBC YESTERDAY TO INSIST THAT PEOPLE WERE ABUSIVE TO HIM.

WITH ALL THE IRAQIS KILLED IN THE ILLEGAL WAR, WITH ALL THE BRITISH TROOPS, ALL THE AMERICAN TROOPS, IS IT REALLY SURPRISING THAT PEOPLE WANT ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THOSE WHO LIED TO START THE ILLEGAL WAR?

TO TONY BLAIR IT IS.

WEARING MORE MAKE UP THAN DAME EDNA, TONY BLAIR LOOKED LIKE AN ELDERLY DIANA DORS AND WHINED LIKE HYACINTH BUCKET.

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

 That's reality.  Sadly reality gets bracketed by spin today.  We had John Bolton already but another War Hawk spoke out today.  He had to because he's under assault and desperate to maintain whatever is left of his tawdry image.  Yes, we're referring to Tony Blair who was Prime Minister of England and was ridiculed as Bully Boy Bush's lapdog and poodle in 2003. That was ten years ago so some may have forgotten or never seen George Michael's "Shoot The Dog" -- which features an animated Bully Boy Bush tossing a ball and Tony Blair fetching it while George sings  "good puppy, good puppy, roll on over."


Cherie baby, spliff up
I want to kick back mama
And watch the World Cup with ya baby
Yeah, that's right!
We're getting freaky tonight
Let's have some fun while Tony's stateside
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
See Tony dancing with Dubya
Don't you want to know why?

-- "Shoot The Dog," written by George Michael, Philip Oakey and Ian Burden, first appears on George's Patience



The song was a hit, charting in over 13 countries.  MTV reported on the song in July 2002 when it was released:

"People are looking at the song in context of an attack on America, as opposed to an attack on Tony Blair," Michael said from his vacation home in France. "And really, my attack is that Tony Blair is not involving the British in this issue. He's perfectly happy staying up to watch the World Cup and enjoying the Jubilee, all things I'm perfectly guilty of, but there's a serious discussion about Iraq which hasn't taken place. We don't know what Saddam Hussein is capable of, the British public has no idea."

And that criticism of Blair is still apt criticism all these years later as Tony Blair demonstrated in his interview with BBC's Kirsty Wark for Newsnight broadcast today.  Excerpt.



Kirsty Wark: Is daily life in Iraq today what you hoped it would be ten years ago?

War Criminal Tony Blair:  No, because for some people, at least in Iraq, it's immensely difficult -- particularly if you're living in Baghdad and around the center of the country.  There are still terrorist activities that are killing people -- killing innocent people for no good reason.  But the country as a whole, obviously, it's economy is growing strongly, it's got huge amounts of oil revenue but, no, there are still big problems.

Kirsty Wark:  A conservative estimate, since 2003, 100,000 civilians have been killed, 179 British soldiers died.  Don't you think that was too high a price?

War Criminal Tony Blair:  Of course the price is very, very high!

Kirsty Wark:  Is it too high?

War Criminal Tony Blair:  But -- Well, think of the price that people paid before Saddam [Hussein] was removed.  Think of -- Think of the Iran-Iraq War in which there were a million casualties [which ended in 1988; 15 years before the US and UK invaded Iraq in 2003], hundreds of thousands of young conscript Iranians were killed, many of them by the use of chemical weapons [chemical weapons provided by the US government].  Chemical weapons attacks on his own people, the Kurds [again, 1988, over 15 years before the start of the Iraq War], people oppressed, deprived of their rights [like Bradley Manning in the US, a prisoner for 1003 days without trial and counting], tortured and killed on a daily basis [like the victims of Barack Obama's Drone War] --

Kirsty Wark: But there are sectarian killings now.

War Criminal Tony Blair:  Exactly.  So what is the answer?  That's what I'm saying to you.  The answer is not to say to people, I'm afraid we should have left Saddam in charge because otherwise these sectarians will come in and try and destabilize the country.  The answer is you get rid of the oppressive dictatorship and then you have a long hard struggle to push these sectarian elements out too.  Look, Iraq --

Kirsty Wark:  Wait -- But getting rid of the oppressive dictatorship was not why you went in.  You only went in for one single reason.

War Criminal Tony Blair:  Of course!  And-uh-umph-uh the reason that we regarded Saddam as a threat has been set out for many, many -- you know -- many, many reports many, many times and we've gone over this a huge amount -- but if you're asking me [. . .]




Really?  The liar thinks he'll get away with that?  He doesn't need to go over his lie that Saddam Hussein was a threat to England?  Because he's done so "many, many -- you know -- many, many" times before?  Well he's used the 1988 examples "many, many -- you know -- many, many" times before as well.  He's happy to trot that crap out yet again but he doesn't like being confronted with his lies.  And he trots that crap out again in the same interview where he insists, "I have long since given up trying to persuade people it was the right decision."



Kirsty Wark:  You wrote in your memoirs that you think of those who died in Iraq every day of your life.  What do you think about?

War Criminal Tony Blair:  Well, of course, you think about them and the loss of life and the -- and the terrible consequence for the families. But in the end, you're elected as a prime minister to take these decisions and the question is supposing I'd taken the opposite decision.  I mean sometimes what happens in politics and uh-uh-uh unfortunately these things get mixed up with allegations of deceit and lying and so on.  But, in the end, some times you come to a decision where whichever choice you take the consequence is difficult and the choice is ugly.  This was one such case.  If we hadn't removed Saddam from power, just think for example what would be happening with these Arab revolutions were continuing now and Saddam who's probably 20 times as bad as [President Bashir] Assad in Syria was trying to suppress an uprising in Iraq.  Think of the consequence of leaving that regime in power.  So when you say, do you think of the loss of life and the trouble there's been since 2003, of course, I do and you'd have to be inhumane not to but think of what would happen if he'd been left there.




First, Nouri al-Maliki is currently oppressing the Iraqi Spring.  His forces shot and killed 11 peaceful protesters.  They have arrested many more on false charges.  The military is used to keep the press away from the protests.  The military is used to spy on the Iraqi people.

At the US State Dept today, the issue of the protests was raised to spokesperson Patrick Ventrell.


QUESTION: (Inaudible) on Iraq.
MR. VENTRELL: Okay.
QUESTION: Iraq is experiencing a lot of volatility. There were demonstrations all across the country. There are pamphlets in Baghdad for cleansing Baghdad of all Sunnis, and there are bellicose statements by the Prime Minister, who is your ally, actually against the United States and against certain groups in Iraq. Do you have any comment on that?
MR. VENTRELL: Well, the United States remains deeply committed, Said, to supporting the Government of Iraq’s efforts to bring greater stability and prosperity to its people. Our engagement in Iraq remains focused on supporting Iraq’s constitutional system and strengthening institutions. Obviously, we support the rights of those to protest and make their voices heard. We’re also working with them on their institutions. We do, Said, have some concerns about some rising sectarian tensions, and we condemn that. And we’ll continue to work with our Iraqi counterparts to help them as they continue to develop their institutions.
QUESTION: Well, there are certain groups who are collecting names and signatures and so on to have actually the constitution repealed and call for a new constitution. If that is the will of the public, will you support that?
MR. VENTRELL: I mean, look, our broader policy’s always been that we want the Iraqis to work things out through the political process. It’s not for us to determine what it is for them, to determine how their democracy’s going to function, how their constitution works. So we’ll provide support to them, broadly speaking, as they do that.



Tony Blair is a War Criminal and a liar.  He can't face the reality of Iraq today because he has blood on his hands.  Also because he's motivated by greed only which is why he makes the ridiculous argument about Iraq's growing business -- as if the Iraqi people are seeing one sliver of the monies the government sits on.


Second, he makes the decision, he makes the decision, he makes the decision -- Listen to the parrot repeating his phrase.  No, he's elected to serve the public and, in fact, George Michael's criticism of Blair in 2002 remains accurate today:


People are looking at the song in context of an attack on America, as opposed to an attack on Tony Blair.  And really, my attack is that Tony Blair is not involving the British in this issue. He's perfectly happy staying up to watch the World Cup and enjoying the Jubilee, all things I'm perfectly guilty of, but there's a serious discussion about Iraq which hasn't taken place. We don't know what Saddam Hussein is capable of, the British public has no idea.

Blair didn't get honest with the citizens.  Blair didn't respect their input.  He lied and tried to manipulate them.


Third, Wark specifically asked him what he thought about when he thought about those who died in Iraq?  He had no answer because he doesn't think about them.  He tosses off an idiotic one sentence piece of crap and turns the question back to himself.  Point being, all Tony Blair ever thinks about is himself.  Look at how he went on and on about himself and how tough it was.  Someone needs to tell the War Criminal to suck it the hell up.  He's alive, others are dead, climb down from the cross, Tones.

Iraq is a land of widows and orphans, that's the reality Tony Blair doesn't want to deal with.  So many deaths that the median age in Iraq is 21-years.  In Tony Blair's United Kingdom, by contrast, the median age is 40.2 years-old.  Nearly twice that of Iraq.
