Blair the sycophant:

Couldn't have said it better about our B-Liar...

Tony Blair's 'sycophancy' towards George Bush drove him to invade Iraq and into 'a foreign policy disgrace of epic proportions', according to a devastating critique by a top lawyer.

Former Director of Public Prosecutions Sir Ken Macdonald said Mr Blair and Mr Bush engaged in 'an alarming subterfuge' to drag their nations into war.

In the strongest-yet public attack on Mr Blair's decision to go to war, Sir Ken took issue with the former Prime Minister's claim in a TV interview that he would have backed toppling Saddam Hussein even if he had known the dictator had no weapons of mass destruction.

'This was a foreign policy disgrace of epic proportions and playing footsie on Sunday morning television does nothing to repair the damage,' Sir Ken said.
In an article for The Times, he wrote: 'Mr Blair's fundamental flaw was his sycophancy towards power.

you'll never know what is black and white, until the work is done. And precisely the immunity. Unless you can classify them as dictator, which I doubt very much!

True but you probably agree it is not an execuse for him.

My thoughts of democracy is that it should be strong enough to bring Blaire under justice and public display and remove all diplomatic immunity and give him a fair trial with obligating outcome - whatever it may be.

It is known now that he lied to his nation and so many died and deprived from enjoying life. all this happened while he knows it. So voting him out of office is the least that should be done. Same applies to G. Bush.

people thinks you should not make mistake. Only right choices, is that possible?

Blair was booted out of office (?), was his present role a disgrace or .......?

The public elected B-Liar to make decisions on their behalf. When he screwed up, he was voted out of office..

I heard that the investigators were carefully selected and its outcome is not legally obligatory!

My initial thoughts are this is just a play to dilute the public's anger towards the betrayal and consequences of war involvement.

Does not something like this make you think though? what is the use of democracy if such a guilty person gets away with such a mess knowingly!
