Hoon - "Won a magnificent victory in Iraq"

[TomPierce]

Don't wet yourselves but Pooh Blair said it during PM's question time this afternoon. I nearly spewed up my Tanquery and Tonic! :O

Wish both fools would resign. It is getting farcical. :*

Yeah, choked on that too. "led our forces blah, yak, blah"
If that tosser is a military leader, then my dog is a goldfish.

:yuk:

I'm no Blair apologist, but I dislike tabloid-like selective quotes. Blair actually said:

"In respect of the Defence Secretary, we should recognise that over these past few months, under his leadership in the Ministry of Defence, we have won a magnificent victory in Iraq; our troops are now engaged heroically in rebuilding that country..."

Only a politician could make being bogged down in a hostile environment with a bunch of rag 'eads picking the boys off sound like a reconstruction exercise.

The sooner we are rid of this particular bunch of lying b******s the sooner we will be able to listen to some more original lies from their successors.
