Want to be thoroughly nauseated?
If so, watch Parkinson on ITV1 tomorrow night and listen to our Lord High Tone justifying his actions on Iraq..................
PS - I will be done something (anything!) else.

It would appear that the blame for the UK becoming involved in Iraq can be partly given to a higher authority:

Really nice to see that its not just the US and Iran who have leaders with whom God enjoys conversing...
Couldn't he have stuck to focus groups?

So, there you have it chaps. You're no longer defending the sovereignty of the nation, you're on a mission from God.
WMD? 45 minutes from deployment? Providing support for terrorists? Well, its OK to tell lies as long as God says "Its OK Tony. Its the right thing to do"

In fairness to the PM, he did not suggest that he turned to God in order to seek guidance, our bombs have GPS for that! Parky pressed the issue but Blair did not fall into his trap. The clip was on the news last night.
He said, that everyone has to find it in themselves to make tough decisions, I pray whenever I give my wife the new car
, and that sometimes he would pray or find a place to question himself before announcing difficult decisions. At no point did he suggest that he asked God whether or not he should press the button so calm down folks.
The Armed Forces are facing tough cuts and I think it is safe to say that without the odd conflict, the cuts would be even more severe. I'm not suggesting that as a motive for war however, it is the reality as to why many of us still have a job in blue/green/navy thingy.
Iraq is a mess however, thats the fault of the US for not commiting enough troops post conflict, something the US Administration has admitted on several occasions.

The sooner this clown returns to the circus, the better. Anyone else notice how there was NOTHING about this in the lunchtime news today, and how it was conveniently eclipsed by Tessa Jowell's marital problems? Coincidence?

I agree with Trumpet Trousers
Front page news tomorrow will be the Jowell story. Its just been on sky news talking about Tessa Jowell and how in the past she was asked what she would do for Mr Blair, her answer was, quote "I would jump under a bus for Tony Blair". Well it looks like she has done, talk about taking the heat of the PM.

I am not a fan of Blair by any standards - I wish the ba$stard would leave us, preferably without Gordon "Slasher" Brown being left in charge.
However, I have to say that I think the media has blown Blair's remarks out of all proportion. He simply said he thought he would be judged by God for his actions in Iraq. JUDGED by God, not exonerated by Him. Blair didn't say he prayed to God to ask Him whether he should invade Iraq.
The guy's an obnoxious, smarmy, careless scumbag with a liberal interpretation of the truth. But there seems to be no evidence that he's a theocrat; he just believes that when he dies he'll be held to account by his Maker. In the meantime, we just need to make sure his Government's held to account in this world as soon as we have the opportunity!

Is there a membership list available for perusal ... 
Depending on ones belief set it may be a surprise that there is / may be etc. something other than this mortal coil off which to fall.
If a believer (not a la monkees) then when you depart this life there is something else to look forward to. If not a believer, does it matter?

So did god tell him to let 345000 plus migrants into the country since the relaxation of EU border rules too??
With that the influx of Albanian gangs, thought to be worse than the Triads, controlling prostitution in most major cities, WELL DONE TONE!!
Oh and thank Gordon for the economic mess he's left the UK Pensions in too. Cheers for the loss of the tax dividend credit and the 1000+ beauracratic crappy legislation rules you have forced on UK PLC
Lets hope Labour fail at the next election......

Brown the Master Thief would be a disaster, the less said about the LibDems the better - and the Tories are now under the thrall of the coke-snorting Etonite Neo-Luvvies.
In short, we're f**ked.
I need to invent a time machine, so I can travel back 200 years, commit a crime and get deported to Australia (It would be easier than meeting their current Immigration requirements at my age!)

In saying that he would be judged by God over Iraq he appeared to saying that he was not prepared to be judged by anyone else, and certainly not by the British public. He obviously believes that the only being to whom he is answerable is God, so b*gger veryone else, even those sad, misguided souls who voted for him. What a pompous git!
