Britain
Our World: After the muses fall silent
2006-11-21

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has gone on an appeasement spree and no one seems to mind. On Friday, Blair gave a marquis interview to Al-Jazeera's new psychological warfare platform - its English-language channel - to celebrate its launch.

It is unclear whether Blair meant to give the impression in that interview that he agreed with Al-Jazeera's Man-about-Town-in-Britain David Frost's assertion that the US-British war in Iraq is "pretty much a disaster." But Blair has made unmistakably clear that what he is suing for now is an ignominious American-British retreat from Iraq.

In his recent statements and actions, Blair has been unambiguous in communicating his belief that peace in Iraq begins with Israeli surrender to the Palestinians, Hizbullah and Syria. Blair sees in suicidal Israeli retreats from the Golan Heights, Judea and Samaria the key to unlocking the hearts of the mullahs in Teheran and the Ba'athists in Damascus. As Blair sees it, these enemies of Israel, the US, Britain and the entire Free World will suddenly become reliable friends of the non-Jewish West if Israel is left at their tender mercies. As friends, Iran and Syria will allow the US and Britain to surrender Iraq with their heads held high as they hand global jihadists their greatest victory since the Soviet retreat from Afghanistan.

#5  IMO Dubya taint gonna withdraw or retreat from IRAQ or anywhere, even iff it means mushroom clouds over Him + Washington DC/NPE. There's no need for him or America to, plus he already knows the WOT > for Amer's enemies > about isolating, weakening, destabilizing + defeating iff not destroying America anyways. 9-11/WOT > Amer MUST adopt anti-sovereign, anti-AMer OWG + SOcialism or be destroyed, which Dubya correctly interpreted as America rules the world or it will be destroyed, thus Amer chooses to rule the world. America = God/Allah > EXCUSE for the Radics to justify the CONTINUING, GROTESQUE FAILURE(S) OF ISLAM - ISLAMIC LDRS/OOVTS TO SATISFY THE MATERIALIST + SPIRITUAL ASPIRATIONS/
NEEDS OF ITS BELIEVERS. BLAMELESS LEFT > CUT-AND-RUN IN IRAQ-ME = SAME FOR MUSHROOM?WMD CLOUDS OVER US CITIES = what matters to the Blameless Left is they + Chicken Little stay blameless + alive no matter the costs to themselves or anyone else. STALIN = MAO EXECUTED TRAITORS + WEAKLINGS NO MATTER WHOM OR WHAT REASON OR WHOM BENEFITED, EVEN IFF FOR STALIN-MAO, AND THAT POLICY STAYED POLICY THROUGHOUT THE COLD WAR.

#4  Apparently, from what I've read in a french swiss blog comments section, the "disaster" quote is a misquote (an answer to a provocative question by a journalo), spinned out of proportion, and Blair has retracted it.

#3  These recent comments from Blair do make one wonder what the hell has changed. Ne's now pivoted 180 degrees and the most amazing things are escaping his lips. He seems determined to outdo Prince Charlie for buffoonery.

#1  one day, years from now, when students of history ask how it came to pass that the Free World willingly enabled its own destruction

Students of history ? The only students then will be studying the koran.
