Tony Blair visit to Iraq
And you don't think that we would be in the same position if we had a Tory Government??? get real!!!
If that mad old witch was still in power we would have most probably invaded Iran by now (rather than in 18 months or so!)
You think the lads in the desert the first time round enjoyed meeting John Major? All politicians are cheats and liers by their very nature and should be ignored at all costs regardless of they beliefs.

Flying Officer Bloggs,
Sorry old chap, but if I saw him now I'd probably throw stones at him and holler a lot!
He did seem to go down rather well with the 4,000 who listened to him though, still, I don't suppose they are allowed to throw stones and shout, are they?
If he hadn't have gone you lot would have castigated him for that, it's his 4th time out there and he didn't have to go.

If he'd gone on Xmas day, thereby demonstrating his willingness to give up his own Christmas, and if he'd helped serve dinner to the troops, then I'd be impressed.
Perhaps he'll be at Coningsby that day, serving the QRA groundcrew their lunch?

Anyone remember, first hand or otherwise, the story about Hoon's visit to Iraq in 2004? I suspect people might feel the same way now that Bliar has visited them.

Reckon the Meeja Ops folks cocked it up, the clip I saw had all the usual ethnic mix of troops cept for a Gurkha.
PS. Why don't they use Gurkhas in the 'Stan? Born & brought up in that high alt environment.
PPS Merry Chrismas to all, wherever you may be stuck.

I've seen Station Commanders and Squadron Commanders do the Christmas and New Year routes, especially during Gulf Wars. I would have been more impressed had this circus gone out during the festive period.

It's either: A heartfelt thank you to the servicemen for their efforts this year.
Or : A good photo opportunity and the chance to get Cherie and family some cheap gold and duty free.

I just wish that somebody could have stood up at his briefing and told him that he is a lying tw@t. Sleep well this christmas Mr Bliar because the families of all the servicemen that have died this year in Iraq wont.
