Iirc it was about a month before the invasion of Iraq. It was typical Nu Libore scare tactics., cynical and sinister as ever. Trying to scare the crap out of their own electorate, hoping to get them on side for their illegal war. Despicable and hateful, even by the standards of politicians. This is the sort of thing that we are used to hearing about in African dictatorships or South American banana republics.I still believe Bliar should be spending the rest of his natural in a cell, for the strokes he pulled.
Still, he does have the distinction of being the only Prime Minister in history to be interviewed under caution by the police.
God ,I hate that bloke. >:(

thing is Albs - most of us were behind the war, only the libdems and some tree-huggers were moaning about it, nowadays it seems i'm a lone voice supporting the great "blood for oil" adventure - we need oil, you cant have a loony like saddam controlling 25% of the reserves.....whatever the lies and made up intel we used, the end justifies the means surely? :o

the end justifies the means surely
It depends upon who is making the case for such justification BJ.
The desire to have influence over Iraq's oil reserves did, in my view, play a part in the decision to invade the country, however regime change and the development of a powerbase in the region certainly had much more prescience in the overall strategic thinking I would suggest.

I wasnt. ;).......I had long since concluded that a very good rule of thumb was, that If tony and his cronies said something was a good thing, then it was almost certainly a bad thing. Even if the basic reasoning had have been sound, the methods used to get there would still have been beneath despicable.

I disagreed with the war in principle, but agreed Saddam needed removing.
personally i'd have voted in favour of an assassination.... not very often i'd do that.... but the war was about oil and western control over the future.... not just the removal of a madman.
granted, there may have been a requirement for another assassination if one of his nut job cronies had replaced him... but after 2 or 3 of those, i reckon they'd have got the message.. ::)
my reasons for believing in the removal of the madman were entirely based on his genocidal treatment of the kurds, inhuman treatment of much of the rest of Iraq's populace, and aggressive posturing and intrusions on his neighbours...
and nothing at all to do with oil. not one drop....

I read recently that China had bought the lions share of the oil extraction rights in Iraq. If thats true, they should have had the decency to send their army in to do the dirty deed. :-/

They wouldn't have ever left. Ask the dalai lama.

well I'd have put a contract out on Mugabe, but it seems most seasoned pro's need more than £50 and a tube of smarties....
frankly, he can;t die soon enough.... I had school friends who were born and bred there (but white) who's famliy had been successfully farming it for several generations, providing employment, housing and economic stability to their local area,,..
they're now penniless, homeless, bereaved of several family members as a direct result,
it's one thing to read about it , and hear it on the news, it;'s another when you spent 8 years of your life at school with the victims.
-

Cant see it being much of a fight if it comes to it tbh. China has plenty of cannon fodder for any such eventuality.
The occasional suicide bomber there wouldnt cause the same level of shock etc. that it does in western countries.
I would imagine the retribution would be something to be very afraid of though.

It's too late now though, isn't it? I mean, if he copped it tomorrow, it would be 30 years too late.

Ah yes, but Muslims are good with computers, and our glorious leaders have told you the damage they can do. ;D

Imo, the cowardice of the other African nations - RSA in particular, has been utterly disgraceful in that situation. Can you imagine the global uproar if Mugabe had white skin ? ;)
We would have mass protests all around the world. Concerts at Wembley, etc. etc. Funny how the usual suspects on the left of world politics have barely murmured a word on the subject. ::)

I'll take the rice, please.. I love a good Chinese.

Used to be the Army with machine guns, in armoured patrol cars around Heathrow1971 due to IRA activity.
Used to patrol the perimeter road and move us "anoraks" on if we were planespotting.
So nothing new.

because you're genuinely nice, you have a wicked sense of humour.... and heartfelt empathy with those that need it, and plainly deserve to be the subject of a bit of affection.
