Palinesque (the she, NOT he)

According to this, Bliar never asked the questions that needed to be ask about the post war reconstruction of Iraq. Instead, he assumed the Americans would take care of things and left it at that. For a supposedly intelligent man (I couldn't possibly comment!!), he's decision to bury his head in the sand is Palinesque. What's more, he did a hatchet job on anyone who had the temerity to pursue that line of questioning.

Why stop at al-Bashir?

Sudan is not a signatory to the ICC and yet the ICC's chief prosecutor has served a warrant for Omar al-Bashir's arrest, the first time the court has issued a warrant for a serving president. Now, the US of A is not a signatory to the ICC either so here's to hoping that the ICC's chief prosecutor plays fair and issues a warrant for the incumbent at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Tony Bliar, masquerading as a Middle East peace envoy shouldn't fool anyone and Britain is a signatory to the ICC so hopefully we can expect to see Tony Bliar and Dubya arraigned at the Hague in 2010.

The invasion of Iraq was illegal under international law so the ICC would be acting within its powers to issue arrest warrants for G&T. Whether they will have the gumption to do so remains to be seen, but thus far it seems as if the ICC is zealously prosecuting warlords from the DRC, a former president of Liberia and some Serbs. Isn't it high time they went after some high profile international law breakers from the west?!

DELUDED!!

Dear Tony Blair

You are morally and ethically bankrupt, but you have heard those words before as I used them in a letter I wrote to you back in 2004. A letter which you can't have read otherwise you (read Downing Street) would not have sent me the standard postcard in response.

You are a war criminal and I believe that I'll see you stand before the International Criminal Court in my lifetime (2010 seems a good year to prosecute). You took Britain to war on a lie. You perpetuated the myth that Iraq could launch WMD in 45 minutes and when David Kelley had the temerity to point out that you were talking a load of bollocks, he was silenced.

I watched you on Sunday AM a few weeks ago and when you said that it wasn't British or American (no acknowledgement of the other nations in the misappropriately named coalition of the willing) soldiers who were killing the Iraqis in response to a question posed by Andrew Marr as to whether Britain bore some responsibility for the chaos gripping Iraq, I realised just how deluded you really are.

In the run up to your illegal invasion of Iraq, you said that Sadaam posed a threat to Britain, yet another one of your mistruths. It's now coming to light that you steadfastly ignored all evidence to the contrary.

I, for one, believe The Trial of Tony Blair will come to pass and unlike you, I'm not deluded.

See you at the Hague in 2010.
