"Teflon Tony" Blair has again managed to make political capital from seeming disaster.
Today in parliament he attempted to justify his discredited stance on Iraq by using last weeks bombings.
He peddled his platitudes to a hushed House of Commons, maintaining that these bombings were proof that "We must hunt down the terrorists abroad to keep our people safe".

The only two MPs to speak against Blair, were George Galloway and to a lesser extent, Alex Salmon, the Scottish Nationalist leader.
What a bunch of sycophants and cowards, so afraid of media censure as to betray their principles, when they should have been spitting blood and calling for the heads of those who have brought the UK to this pass.

In my opinion it will be found that those bombings have been carried out by British citizens,and to a large extent,in response to UK support for the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Those of us who voiced our protest to the Iraq war on these pages, cited the threat of terrorism as one of the main points against taking part and now another of our prophecies have come about.

Latest leaked documents suggest that both Britain and America are about to cut and run from Iraq, just as the Americans did from Vietnam, and the same endgame is in prospect for those who were forced by financial hardship to support the invaders....The butchers knife.

Maybe some day we'll learn to think again before attempting to export our economic and social systems to other cultures, to pave the way for future invasion and piracy...Ake
