 We’ll Always Have BaghdadPosted on May 19, 2007
Tony Blair is getting one last glimpse of the mess he helped make before stepping down. The outgoing prime minister’s staff says the purpose of Blair’s Baghdad visit is to highlight the connection between security and political stability, but we can’t help but notice an emerging trend. Remember Donald Rumsfeld’s farewell tour of Iraq?

We have all met that excruciatingly beautiful woman that disappoints us so because she has no intellect. Meet the male equivalent, Tony Blair. No surprise that he and George get on famously.

At this point, he’s insisting on his support of the Iraq war only because facing the truth would cause him sheer psychic agony.
He’s screaming “We were right! We were right!” over and over and over again - trying to drown out the small, weary voice of his conscience.

Remember the old RCA Victor emblem on their record label, with the little dog Nipper leaning into the phonograph, listening in wonder..."His Master’s Voice”?
Tony Blair, every faithful.

There’s Tony popping into Baghdad just in time for tea - oops don’t forget your flak jacket. He should have did the photo-op in an oil field it would’ve been much more fitting.

I like Tony Blair. Were I living in England I would have voted for him. Heck, I’ve sent him Xmas cards in the past, but not this past one.
For whatever reason Mr. Blair made a serious mistake: he trusted a modern day Republican who just happens to be in the White House. One would have thought the ‘Downing Street Memo’ would have been enough to convince Mr. Blair that W was leading us, and subsequently Britain, down the wrong path.
For a man who stood so resolutely against the Tories, why he embraced our nation’s Tory party and its foreign affair policy regarding Iraq is beyond me...and apparently beyond the voting public of Britain.
I will endeavor to forever remember Mr. Blair in the light of his better and smarter times and before he was, as it has been so eloquently said elsewhere, ‘seduced by the dark side of the Force.’

I LOVED this article. Says it all. Read it. Pass it along. Those shit-kickers in Washington will have to deal with us. I suggest massive strike ON A BUSINESS DAY.

Let’s all pray Blair doesn’t get his lying skinny ass shot off by a Green Zone mortar attack, or we’ll lose him as a candidate for President of The World Bank, and you know what that means.
Alberto Gonzales will take over The World Bank as a reward for ‘his outstanding service to his delusional boss’, after being pardoned to avoid serving his impeachment sentence.
That’ll mean ‘deja vu all over again’, as the third world reverts to the eighteenth and nineteenth century colonial policies, this time run by an amoral, alegal, idiot-wetback-dictator-wannabe.
