This was Debated Live on LBC
today on the Stig Abell Show. [Stig at 3pm on @LBC: ahead of Chilcot, is it time to recognise that, whatever else he may be, Tony Blair should not be called a war criminal?] Stig made a valid start Then a lady from the Middle East phoned in and destroyed all his words. She said Blair/Bush in Iraq murdered children (meaning Carpet Bombing) There is also a story on SkyNewsHD today its a mother and he young son she said Blair killed her Husband. The boy said if he came across Blair he would not say a word just look into his eyes. Is Blair a War Criminal I say Yes he is Last edited by arista; 03-07-2016 at 04:29 PM. |

I'm presently reading 'Blair & Iraq' by Steve Richards.
Interestingly, the chilcot report doesn’t look into the psychology of why Blair chose to side with the American president and lie to his own government and the British people. From what I’ve read so far, Blair seems like a very weak minded leader who was desperate to remain popular with the Conservatives, Rupert Murdoch and President Bush and if that meant turning his back on his own establishment as well as the British people, he was willing to take that risk. He actually reveled in being called Bush’s poodle and saw it as a big compliment. He was well aware that Margaret Thatcher became a super star after being accepted within the close circles of Reagan; he wanted that same status.

He is totally abhorrent; a war criminal, crook and traitor. I once accused him of hiding from the rammifications of his policies and told him; "Come out from behind that BUSH".

Yes, I think it was 2002? I was in Blackpool on business and I do not want to go into detail, but I actually was within shouting distance of the 'orrible treacherous lttle pixie - seperated by his security and hangers on. He ignored me, but I nearly got arrested.
It was the same time, the great Andrew Neil spent time talking to me (and agreeing with me. ) while he was sitting with an attractive blond waiting for a Chinese takeaway. Later that night, I was about to enter my friend's nightclub in a mixed party, when a Channel 4 Outside Broadcasting team - who were carrying out street interviews - stopped me and asked if I could comment on some political shet (I can't even remember what ) and I had a 10 minute 'rant' which drew great applause from the growing crowd AND the TV crew, but guess what Arista -- NONE of it was broadcast. The political truth hurts uh? Happy days.

My guess would be that this report will no doubt be indeed very long but the main thrust of it will be that the war was not illegal,that parliament was misled.
For that Tony Blair will be firmly to blame. I think it will condemn in the strongest way possible that having no full and just plan for the end of the conflict . Again that will be Tony Blair to blame. However I don't think and would be surprised if it did, go as far as to say any war crimes issue is in play here. A lot of blame and inappropriate handling of the conflict, up to, during and after it,no real guilt of any standing however. To hold Tony Blair as a war criminal would be to infer and accuse the former USA President of same and it would really surprise me to find that being inferred in this report. |

If Blair was Chinese, Russian, or Pakistani he would be being called a War Criminal, as would the idiot that was the US's President at the time.

Yes but its up to the Americans to investigate Bush. The reason we investigated Blair was because sound evidence came forward that proved he very deliberately mislead his cabinet and nation about WMD. By all accounts he had taken a very weak document and spruced it up into something quite unrecognizable.
On top of that, when it came to light that American military personnel were torturing prisoners of war in Iraq, Blair continued to hold Bush’s hand. When America gave Sadam the death sentence he still held Bush’s hand. He didn’t only sacrifice innocent Iraqi’s for his own vanity, he sacrificed our soldiers and that’s what he has to pay for.

שטח זה להשכרה

There are over 2.6 million words in this report. I'd be willing to bet that no one on here will be reading it.
The fact that Blair stepped away from Iraq and went on to be a Middle East Peace Envoy demonstrates how little he will suffer from this report. |

That's an excellent clip....
As a Jew I don't believe in hell. This is one time I really hope I'm wrong. |

I agree, very few people will read this entire report but the download is easy to navigate if all you want to look at is key findings and conclusions.
