Tony Blair Stands by Bush, Iraq WarPosted on Sep 1, 2010
The former British prime minister’s fall from boy wonder to lapdog caricature has a lot to do with George W. Bush and their shared Iraq adventure. In his new autobiography, normally the place for reflection and re-evaluation, Blair defends both his relationship with the American president and the mess in Mesopotamia. The BBC has collected some of the choicer quotes from Blair’s tome.

A war criminal defends another war criminal.
Both and all others who had instigated the destruction of Iraq,a functioning society by any standard,should be indicted and face International Justice,so that they would be a lesson for all potential war criminals and instigators of war that might be in the future.
There is no legal status of limitation for war criminals and instigators of war.

Excellent, Mr. Blair.
You stood up to those you knew were an enemy and beat back tyranny where it was most needed at the time.
You helped to end Saddam Hussein, disarm Libya, dismantle A.Q. Kahn, humiliated Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia and aided in Syria leaving Lebanon. The lives you ultimately helped to save is incalculable.
History will judge you a moral giant.
Thank you, Mr. Blair. Thank you so very much for your strength and courage. Outstanding!

Blair, supposedly, is religious. In that case, he’d better start wondering what Hell is going to look like.

It seems odd that someone as dumped on and useless as Toadie Blair would be valued by anyone as someone to stand behind anyone or any action.
Blair was at the Downing Street Memos meeting. In other words, he was complicit in helping Bush deceive Americans into supporting the disastrous invasion of Iraq.
We owe him a subpoena, to the Hague, to promise to tell the truth about deception, lies, and other nasties that got a good number of people killed, maimed, or displaced.
When’s that coming up?

As to Blair’s tears, fuck ‘im.

Stiff upper lip Tony? Couldn’t help it could you. You had to step up and speak when you should have shut up. You now have stirred the masses in England and the pursuit of justice will begin anew. Thank you Tony Blair. Thank you for allowing this discussion of your involvement and your alliance with Georgie Bush in what was the largest injustice in decades. Kind of like the almost bully who goes to the smaller person to show their power to scare others, to show their might because someone took advantage of you while you were sleeping and vulnerable. You’re not sure who it was, so you go to the most vulnerable country that you know you can bully back without any retaliation. Thus, you send the message that you are somebody not to be fooled with, and to be shown justified you create false proof that it was that country that was responsible. Proof was leaked against you showing this and you were lucky the first time to get away with it, but you just had to try to salvage your integrity. The integrity you do not possess. I only hope that this brings your partner(s) in crime along with you and you all get prosecuted for the deaths of the people you helped send to a false and unjust war, and for the many people that were ruined by the cost of this false war in lives and money and jobs, etc., etc., etc. Show your integrity Tony, be the whistleblower to save your integrity before a Cheney decision comes to eliminate the possibility. Thank you Tony. May the chips land where they should.

it’s been reported that, in his book, blair has said he’s shed tears over the victims of the iraq war. so tony, do u think those tears were brought forth by your compassion for others or by a guilty repressed subconscious that is trying to tell u that u aided and abetted their victimization?
