Moonbat fails to 'arrest' Bolton
2008-05-29
Publicity whore Campaigner George Monbiot said he would continue his attempt to serve arrest paper on politicians involved in the decision to go to war in Iraq. He was unable to make a citizen's arrest of former American Ambassador to the UN John Bolton at the Hay Festival. Mr Monbiot was dragged away by security officers as he tried to approach Mr Bolton, who was at the festival to talk on international relations.

Speaking afterwards, Mr Monbiot said he planned to pursue former PM Tony Blair. He said he considered Mr Blair and other leading politicians to be war criminals who had breached international law by their involvement in the decision making process which led to the Iraq war. He said he had given a dossier of evidence on Mr Bolton - who was President Bush's representative at the United Nations during the time of the Iraq War - to Dyfed-Powys Police ahead of his attempt to present his charge sheet. He said: "I'm aware that I've made what I believe is the first attempt ever to arrest one of the perpetrators of the Iraq War, and I believe that is a precedent and I would like to see that precedent followed up."

#14  I dunno, wxj. 'Egg and flow' could turn into a new RB catchphrase...

#13  'egg and flow' he he, I thought you were talking about some new shampoo.

It's ebb and flow.

#12  It'd be worth the international trouble just to see JB kick Monbiot's liver out on the street.

#11  LGF is too left wing for me these days.

#10  To reminisce, I've discovered RB in december 2002 through a Global security article (which I still have in my archives), and while I've not always been faithful to it at the beginning as I was more a LGF fan/lurker, it's the only "warblog" I still bother myself with (even though the Belmont club, Wind of Change, or others are still great blogs which I enjoy from time to time, but not daily), because it is reasonably "sized", it's interesting thanks to its Boss and Owner's peculiar sense of humor, and despite the egg and flow of regulars, there always are interesting personalities, knowledgeable or just plain interesting.

#9  I used to be a big LGF fan back in the olden days, but I drifted away after a while, prefering RB to it, so I'm not that savvy to their linguo and how it spread to the conservative blogosphere; and I now find that in addition to being way too "big" to be user-friendly (like that family-blog of a Rantburg), I've simply moved away from their ideological views. Simply put, they're not my cup of tea.

Funny how getting UN approval results in breached international law...

#4  Monboit is lucky. Bolton would have knocked him down, ripped his still beating heart from his chest and dripped the squirting blood into Monboit's dying eyes.

#3  Bolton looks like a kind of guy who's carrying.

#2  Damn you! You let him get away! You're a traitor to the cause! How much did Karl Rove pay you, you filthy Judas?
