Tony Blair on Dick Cheney

[Dr Grump]

"He would have worked through the whole lot – Iraq, Syria, Iran, dealing with all their surrogates..He thought the world had to be made anew....and it had to be done by force and with urgency."

Tell us something us normal people didn't know, Tony.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I say the thread title.

Then when I saw "it had to be done by force and with urgency", I developed a very graphic image in my head.

For what its worth, Tony Blair was/is a fucking amazing orator...

 

[Dr Grump]

I agree re Blair, but he was Bush's little puppy dog when it came to Iraq....

I assume that you volunteered to be on the front line? Or are like the rest of the chickenhawks. All for blood and guts, providing it is the other fellows blood and guts.

Uggh, this just adds to the horible image outlined by the other posters.

I wouldnt go as far as to call him a little puppy dog. He had his own motives and was ideologically aligned with Bush enough to agree that Iraq need a reformation... Which lets be honest Iraq deserved something better, differnent/new and freedom but there was a lot of misinformation that led to the U.S invasion/occupation.

Did they ever find those pesky wmd's?

Well as someone who truly believes believes that individual freedom and self determination are inhernet rights, I personally believe the system they had in place under Saddam robbed them of true freedom and choice... It should be noted I dont think the US should play world police and determine whats best for who ever...

And we should restore by invasion and occupation these "inherent rights" to all those in the world who do not have them?

I REPEAT "It should be noted I dont think the US should play world police and determine whats best for who ever..." While I can say that the Iraq invasion should have been avoided and was wholly unnecessary it dont think it was evil and did some good.

That remains to be seen. I really do not expect any long term stability to result from our presence there.

Dr Grump, would you kindly explain your Avatar picture? I'm curious about it.

Looks like an asteroid hitting the Earth....just picked it up from a google search thought it looked interesting...

I think there might be if you set up Iraq into three automous regions - seems to work in Bosnia and parts of Spain.

Afghanistan is another kettle of fish....
