Ought to be met with such a storm of jeering laughter and cat-calls as to make it impossible to hear what the fool is saying....

and letting them attempt to revise history. I cannot believe what we are witnessing. These pariahs should be scorned, and jeered in public and then sent to prison for war crimes. It is their arrogance that is frightening - they do not expect to be stopped.

he also had the nerve to say and believe that..

Barack Obama ordered US troops to leave Iraq too soon.
Britain and America must launch renewed military attacks in Iraq and Syria.
Al Qaeda was ‘beaten’ in Iraq thanks to the Blair-Bush war, but the bungling Iraqi government let them back in.

It's hilarious that he and Bush thinks they are somehow liberators and think that Al-Qaeda was beaten in Iraq, as if they knew who ALL the Al-Qaeda members are and that they are in one place.

and couldn't believe it. I always wondered about Blair, now I think he's much more stupid than he looks.

He's nothing more than a war criminal - a shameless lying war criminal.

Thanks for the thread, malaise.

That's a nice poodle though -not a war criminal Uncle Joe

Sellout

Fido in the Hague

Tony Blair's "unhinged" attempt to rewrite history is undermining arguments for western intervention in Iraq, the London mayor Boris Johnson has claimed in an extraordinary personal attack on the former prime minister.

His intervention was met with widespread criticism from Labour figures and others as extremists posted pictures apparently showing the killing of dozens of Iraqi soldiers by jihadist fighters.

In his condemnation of Blair the London Mayor accused the ex-Labour leader of having sent British forces into the bloody conflict in part to gain personal "grandeur".

In his Daily Telegraph column, Johnson said Blair and then-US president George Bush had shown "unbelievable arrogance" to believe toppling Saddam Hussein would not result in instability which resulted directly to the deaths of 100,000 Iraqis and hundreds of British and American troops

But he said that by refusing to accept that the 2003 war was "a tragic mistake", "Blair is now undermining the very cause he advocates: the possibility of serious and effective intervention.

"Somebody needs to get on to Tony Blair and tell him to put a sock in it, or at least to accept the reality of the disaster he helped to engender. Then he might be worth hearing," Johnson concluded.

sooner or later someone is going to pay for this war and don't think for a minute you won't be the one left out to dry.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, I recommend "The Trial of Tony Blair". It's a satire and a bit dated as it assumes Hillary Clinton was elected president in 2008 but still fun to watch.

The Trial of Tony Blair is a satirical drama, based around the notion that the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is to face charges of war crimes by an international tribunal, following his departure from 10 Downing Street. Directed by Simon Cellan Jones, it was first aired on More4 on 15 January 2007 and repeated on 5 March 2007 and during Blair's last week as Prime Minister on 23 June 2007.

A short time before the 2010 general election, Tony Blair goes on British television and gives a political broadcast, in which he announces his resignation from his position as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The Labour Party, of which Blair is leader, is trailing David Cameron's Conservative Party in the polls. However, within hours of Blair's departure, the polling trends dramatically reverse with respondents overwhelmingly supporting Labour's new leader, Gordon Brown. Fearing that his legacy is under severe threat, Blair attempts to sabotage Labour's election campaign, leaking an inflammatory e-mail sent from Brown to Blair wherein the former admits that tax hikes are "inevitable". Blair's plan works, in that Labour wins the election with a majority of just two Members of Parliament, smaller than Blair's majority and with Cameron in a much better position.

Meanwhile, Blair is having problems of his own. Both he and his wife, Cherie, are having financial problems. He is obsessed with his legacy, but neither his former supporters nor the U.S. government — led by President Hillary Clinton — want anything to do with him. Finally, Blair is haunted by disturbing visions of dead Iraqi civilians and British soldiers in the ongoing Iraq War. His troubled conscience makes him try to convert to Catholicism, though in repeated visits to church he finds himself unable to confess to any sins. Blair is portrayed as being partly in denial that a world which once hailed him as a great leader has largely turned against him.

To compound Blair's problems, the International Criminal Court is looking to bring war crimes charges against British and American leaders in relation to the war. Now that Blair is no longer Prime Minister, he no longer has diplomatic immunity from prosecution, and since George W. Bush cannot be prosecuted due to America's unwillingness to extradite former Presidents, Blair would become the main scapegoat of any such trial. Brown is initially uncertain of what to do, but his hand is ultimately forced when he is informed that several Labour MPs have threatened to defect to the Liberal Democrats — thereby destabilising Labour's minority government — if he fails to act.

I'd like to see that. He should be locked up in the Hague

I think you know enough French to translate that, Mr. Blair.
