Thread Name: BS: Blair the hypocrite
Subject: BS: Blair the hypocrite
This lastest hostage incident has, for the first time, made me look seriously at Tony Blair. Previous to this, I thought of him only as a "lapdog" for Bush. What a dispicable, blundering idiot he is!

I watch him complaining about the treatment of the British hostages and claiming that he is disgusted, but what does he think has been going on with outsourcing and the torture of prisoners captured by the U.S. and Britain? The videos and photos from Abu Grahib make the British hostages look like they're on a picnic. Compare that to the countless number of images of the imprisoned, tortured and dead that Britain has somehow justified. Where is outrage at U.S. actions?

I am sure the hostages are terrified, but they have not been photgraphed in sexual positions, or squatting in a hole like Saddam, or on their knees in orange jumpsuits and show no signs of being battered or tortured.

I have seen plenty of examples of people hiding behind self-righteous indignation but Tony Blair takes the cake. He looks more foolish everytime I see his act of moral outrage. He's as bad or worse than Bush.
