Tony Blair: Wars
built 642 days ago
Based on his sordid war criminal record post-9/11, Tony Blair won't likely have the qualms that got James Wolfensohn to resign his job. He's taking it to reinvent himself, but that's no more likely than convincing carnivores to become vegetarians. He'll first visit Ramallah in the West Bank, showing up as a Trojan horse fooling no one about what's behind his slick-tongued hypocrisy.

Tony Blair has admitted for the first time that he ignored the pleas of his aides and ministers to deter President Bush from waging war on Iraq because he believed that America was doing the right thing. And he has acknowledged that he turned down a last-ditch offer from Mr Bush to pull Britain out of the conflict.

A secret British memo from July 2002, summarizing a meeting between Tony Blair and his security advisors, was made public. The memo implied that President Bush had already made up his mind to go to war in Iraq, despite his claims to the contrary, and that intelligence and facts about Iraq would be “fixed around the policy.”

Tony Blair is despised and discredited at home, hated across the world, and the Arab street condemns him. Appointing him peace envoy to the region he warred against is a galling insult to its people, all others of conscience and all humanity. Nonetheless, he has the job and started off on his last day in office June 27 telling his Parliament: "The absolute priority is to try to give effect to what is now the consensus across the international community - that the only way of bringing stability and peace to the Middle East is a two-state solution."

Blair’s support for military action in Iraq led to massive demonstrations across the United Kingdom. In February 2003 Blair survived the largest parliamentary revolt of his tenure as prime minister—over a government motion to back “all means necessary” to disarm Iraq. In March British forces joined the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, despite a failure to secure a UN resolution explicitly sanctioning the action. See U.S.-Iraq War.

Tony Blair said There has been some controversy about global warming and that he has personally spoken to some of the top scientists and he is convinced that it is real. He added, "regardless of whether you believe it is real or not, there is very little down-side to taking action. Blair added "even if we are wrong about global warming, if the world does takes action, then we will have at least reduced pollution and found better ways to live.
