So, will someone arrest Tony Blair now, please. He will get off because he has money. But we need to go through the motions.

60% of Americans, plus former President George Bush Jnr believe that Saddam Insane and Iraq DID* 9/11.

So “they had it coming”, as they say over there.

(* whatever that may mean.)

Sounds like complete nonsense. But please do provide your source.

My apologies it should be BELIEVED, not believe.

Totally false. The reason given for invading Iraq was WMD. (Which, FWIW, was backed up by many intelligence agencies, including yours.)

I distinctly heard JB Jnr mutter something about Saddam and 9/11, as must millions of others!
However I agree that ultimately they, to their eternal shame, decided on the BIG LIE……….the totally fictitious WMD!

Much to my amazement they didn’t find any!
Why didn’t they PLANT them? How thoroughly bovine of them!

As to our (UK) intelligence agencies, utterly worthless lickspittle, and have been for eons.
Mostly Communists or Sodomites or both, and very few James Bonds among them, more’s the pity.

More tea?

Well that’s only true because the Intel agencies counted chemical weapons as WMD. (even though chem weapons have been around since WWI.)

Interesting as to how Islamist incursion into British life and law, ditto Europe is going strong with hardly a shot fired as the unctuous, cowardly politicians prostrate themselves in avoidance of the weapon that fires no rounds, but has more power than a thermo nuclear missile, and cost nothing… Islamophobia…

God is Great. We need to import more of this sort of thing into the West. God is merciful, compassionate.

I think you mean “God is greatER” if you are trying a translation from the arabic (so I am told).
It’s bizarre ; if my god is greater than your god, then logically I am accepting that there are two gods – so yours can’t be a god, or I am blaspheming. If there is only one, then logically there is nothing for him (her/it) to be ‘greater than’.
And yes, I agree. This is just the sort of thing we need more of in the West!

This is a great article. Very informative and a lesson about what can go wrong when you invade another country.

The last question of this article asks if people want freedom or stability. I think Saddam inflicted brutal tactics, including death, on many many people. And the people knew it mattered not how careful they were in their words and actions because Saddam was a madman who needed no reason at all to inflict his monstrous deeds. So I am not sure that the question is relevant. Thoughts?
