#2 I'd only ask that he reverse this tiny bit, as it would make all the difference in clarifying the actual war underway:

"ideology of this evil"

Then he'd get my vote, moronic domestic policies or not. On this occasion he has truly stepped up and delivered. Good on ya, Tony.

Thx, BigEd - I wanted to see the reference to Israel that Tony (UK) mentioned this morning, and which Rooters (IIRC) left OUT of their twisted Jooo-hating agenda-driven half-assed reporting.

#3 Blair is just digging a bigger hole for himself. He says there's no justification for terrorism, quite rightly, but he forgets there was no justification for the Iraqi oil war and that he had to lie to get the UK involved. The sooner he goes the better.

#6 GG3024 - The "oil war" tag is at best specious on the facts but go ahead, suit yourself. There were some very good justifications for the ouster of Saddam Hussein but you'll be forgiven for taking the myopic short term view. My personal favorite comes to mind at the moment. Although they may not care for the present mayhem and uncertainty or be thrilled about the need for foreign troops on location, you'd be hardpressed to find more than a few kurds or shia (a large majority of Iraq mind you) who'd have Saddam or a sunni dictatorship again. As to Blair he is surely not without his shortcomings but I'd put it to you that he has been one of the more intelligent, articulate, thoughtful, sincere and effective leaders since (now put down your cup laddie) Thatcher. Would you refer to have Precious Georgie Galloway or similar scum at the helm? Indulge us and propound upon why it was that London got targeted and what it will take to change that state of affairs.

#7 How did we in the West end up with so many fools who so obviously seek to undermine everything we do for freedom and prosperity? you know, journalists who "ask" questions begging moral equivalence, posters who "know" it's all about oil, demonstrators who "support" our troops, and millions who march for Saddam.

This is not a rhetorical question. I am puzzled by the sheer number and audacity of these fools. If it were the 18th century I'd long have killed dozens of them in duel.

#8 Blair may be intelligent & articulate, compared to most American politicians, but it's easy to see through him particularly when he switches to his "emotional mode". Yes I would prefer Georgie Galloway, he made mincemeat of that dumb Senator, or Gordon Brown. Blair is a liar, he's not trusted by the majority of British people.
As for the reasons the USA spent $200 billion "liberating Iraq" and turning it into a moonscape, that was oil, not a single doubt about it.

Why don't you call him Bliar while you're at it. And can't you see it was cheaper to turn Iraq into a moonscape for the sake of Haliburton experiments, rather than going to the moon again? $200b is cheap. Plus we needed to destroy Iraq so that oil prices would rise to $60. Next we'll turn Afghanistan into a moonscape too!

#13 GG - Ah, you are a sharp one. Galloway's opportunism and psuedosocialist talk warms your wee little heart does it. Feels good so it must be. You like living in a free, democratic and civil society? Best not cast your lot with a demagogue like Galloway. By the time you wake up to become disillusioned the choices will no longer be yours to make. You'd trust him would you. Humor me more laddie! When he's dead and gone you'd find his legacy impossible to shrug off. His ilk live for lemmings like you. They feed on them. Hundreds every day. On a related topic when would you prefer the more calculating and cold-blooded among the IRA to start up again? Oh, and what of the shia and kurds in Iraq anyway? Perhaps you are correct GG. In the end the war might be in part about oil and how the revenue from that pumped out of Iraq might benefit the shia and kurds as well as a sunni clique and their minions.

#14 Well at the moment it looks like the USA is creaming off all the oil revenue. Yes oil is $60 and that wasn't planned, but neither was the oil line being popped very few days by the "insurgents".
Incidentally and as a matter of interest, if you don't accept the obvious, what do you think the illegal invasion was all about, if not for oil?

#26 There's a huge difference between contrary views and outright lies, you, whatever your name is. The mass graves in Iraq were certainly not caused by U.S. soldiers and you know that very well. As for the war, Saddam Hussein violated several resolutions which the U.N. passed, but was too greedy (based on the fact that several members of the U.N. were accepting oil bribes under the condition that they would not uphold their own resolutions) to enforce. Therefore, if Saddam's war crimes did not justify it already, the U.S. had a perfect excuse for going to war. I suggest that you better familiarize yourself with reality before you make any more allegations against the United States.

#27 Should we put Saddam back in power? let him torture and murder forever? You, GG/TU/UU are disgusting and there is no innocent reason for your propaganda. You do not deserve to live in the free world. Keep up your work and your life will be short.

The liberation of Iraq was and is a noble act, principally motivated by American self-interest: the end of a murderous tyrant who has supported terrorists for decades, the spread of free institutions in the Middle East, and the positioning of military forces to take out other tyrannies in the Middle East.

There is no need to beg for UN permission for such good deeds, on the contrary it has become evident that the UN is a tool used by evil forces to perpetuate tyranny around the world. We've had enough of it. We don't need any more of your contemptible lies.

What kind of fool believes that.... oh, yeah, that's right: you're a student from Oxford. My son (or maybe daughter), we have a little saying in the United States: you have been educated beyond your intelligence. Let me help you out:

1) George Galloway is a political water boy who cringes for the highest (or perhaps lowest) bidder. That was the Marxists/Greens, now itâs the Muslims. Whatever: he will go to any length keep his cushy job feeding off of the public trough. Just like most other politicians.

2) The ability to yell tired platitudes louder than Sen Norm Coleman can ask you questions does not make you an intellectual giant. It doesnât even make you an intellectual. It just makes you loud.

3) If we wanted Saddamâs oil we simply could simply have bought it from him. It would have been easier and cheaper in both the short as well as long term. A ten-year-old could tell you that, so please donât insult anybodiesâ intelligence by implying that Bush and Blair somehow could not.

4) I spent some time there back in the 90's: great architecture, good food, pretty girls. Forget about arguing with us, leave your dorm room, and go have some fun. Life is too short.

5) You know, we had one of you Oxford guys as president. His "grasp" of foreign policy was remarkably similar to yours. A nice guy, but a very bad president as his inaction helped to create exactly the situation we are arguing about right now.

#34 Please yourself, it won't stop me.
Secret Master-Norm Coleman was made to look the fool he is. As for just buying Saddam's oil that's not the point, it's a simpleton's view. The idea was to control the world's second largest oil reserves, pump oil as fast as possible, and undercut OPEC forcing world prices down. It hasn't worked of course because Iraq's oil supply has been routinely sabotaged.
But this is an indication of what was at stake.;
"In the past, dependence on oil has cost our economy dearly. Oil price shocks and price manipulation by the OPEC cartel from 1979 to 1991 cost the U.S. economy about $4 trillion, almost as much as we spent on national defence over the same time period and more than the interest payments on the national debt. Each major price shock of the past three decades was followed by an economic recession in the United States. With growing U.S. imports and increasing world dependence on OPEC oil, future price shocks are possible and would be costly to the U.S. economy."

#36 Who do I believe, kid, these guys or you? If so, why? What are your sources?

Since the Saddam Hussein regime was overthrown in May, 270 mass graves have been reported. By mid-January, 2004, the number of confirmed sites climbed to fifty-three. Some graves hold a few dozen bodiesâtheir arms lashed together and the bullet holes in the backs of skulls testimony to their execution. Other graves go on for hundreds of meters, densely packed with thousands of bodies.

"We've already discovered just so far the remains of 400,000 people in mass graves," said British Prime Minister Tony Blair on November 20 in London. The United Nations, the U.S. State Department, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch (HRW) all estimate that Saddam Hussein's regime murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people. "Human Rights Watch estimates that as many as 290,000 Iraqis have been 'disappeared' by the Iraqi government over the past two decades," said the group in a statement in May. "Many of these 'disappeared' are those whose remains are now being unearthed in mass graves all over Iraq."

If these numbers prove accurate, they represent a crime against humanity surpassed only by the Rwandan genocide of 1994, Pol Pot's Cambodian killing fields in the 1970s, and the Nazi Holocaust of World War II.

Downing Street has admitted to The Observer that repeated claims by Tony Blair that '400,000 bodies had been found in Iraqi mass graves' is untrue, and only about 5,000 corpses have so far been uncovered.

#45 UU5507: a quick rebuttal, you deserve nothing more.

1) Various UN and non-US NGOâs have been excavating the mass graves in Iraq. The 400,000 number is firm and from them. More are being uncovered every day.

If it was only 30,000, would that mean it was okay for Saddam to murder women and children?

2) The U.S. did not supply poison gas to either Iraq or Iran in their war; both sides made their own. The ingredients for chlorine, phosgene, and nerve gas are common, and any moderately technical, industrial society can make them. It is not hard. Even you could do it with a bucket of ammonia and a bucket of bleach (donât try this at home).

3) The sanctions did not kill 500,000 children; that was a number Saddam bantered around. Virtually all of the images and words put out by the Iraqi regime during the time of sanctions was a lie, and is acknowledged as such -- bitterly -- by Iraqis today. There was no DU poisoning, and the âdead babiesâ parades were expressly organized by Saddam to dupe people like you.

If we accept that the sanctions were harmful, to the extent that children were dying, removing the sanctions by removing Saddam would be good, would it not?

4) The U.S. did not arm Saddam. According to the UN Agency for Disarmament, which monitors arm sales around the world, the USSR/Russia provided Saddam with 57% of his foreign arms purchases. China supplied another 13%. The US provided 0.03%.

Note that the Iraqi army was equipped with Russian tanks, not American, used Russian AK-47 rifles, not M-16s, flew Russian aircraft, not American, and so on.

5) The number of Iraqi civilians dead as a result of the liberation, and in the time thereafter, is about 25,000. This includes the civilians killed by the Baâathists and jihadis.

6) The liberation was not illegal under American law. American law does not recognize the UN Charter as supreme, nor does it recognize other international conventions as supplanting our own Constitution. The U.S. Congress expressly authorized the action, and that makes it legal for us.

Iâll say it again: we donât recognize international law as superior to our own.

7) If we wanted Iraqi oil, we could have bought it. Dick Cheney would have negotiated for it over breakfast and a tortured Kurd. Saddam offered to sell us oil at below-market price if we dropped the sanctions.

Further, if we wanted to go to war for oil, weâd invade Alberta. Itâs closer.

8) There were numerous, extensive links between Saddam and international terrorists, including Al Qaeda. This has been documented by several investigators. Saddam supported various Palestinian terrorist groups, supported terrorist groups in neighboring countries, and had contacts with Al Qaeda that included protecting various al-Q people.

That will do for a start. However, you'll be in read-only mode for R-burg, as I will shortly be trolling your ass. AoS.

#59 Piece of shit anti-American fuck.

Let's all get together and make excuses for ME powers and give them a break? And all those poor powerless countires, lets make America leave them alone, am I hearing you right?

Too bad British Academia is working so hard to paint the US as evil. Perhaps you should stick to your coffee house chatter with your islamofascist boyfriend.

You understand the bombers, and why they hit your subway, assmunch? Do you feel sorry for them for suffering under the evil West? Take your happy ass to live in Waziristan then bitch boy.

So, piss off Oxford boy until you have something valid to say.

Sorry Fred et all, I couldn't let this one slide.

#65 The moonbats love international law. You know, Hitler WOULD have effectively written international law if the allies hadn't put paid to his reign of terror. Whether our course of action to protect ourselves (and our feckless compatriots in the West) against this century's totalitarianism is correct or not can be discussed, but don't even try to suggest that it is illegal for us to protect our nation. Internation LAW is a fiction beloved of Tranzi fools and leftist fellow travellers.

#67 Another unsufferable display of pompous authoritarianism by an ignorant Euro-bigot. Has Oxford really sunk so low? Given what has happened at my alma mater of Cornell, it is at least possible.
The Guardianistas and like-minded media tools are probably the most evil and depraved large group of people in history, Nazis and Bolsheviks notwithstanding. Some of the latter totalitarians acted from principle; hateful, perverse and demonic priniciples it is truth, but principles just the same. The media beasts incite terrorism and taunt its victims out of greed and a kind of sadistic joy in otherwise useless power of their own nihilism. They are vermin and they should be exterminated.

#71 You seem totally out of touch with world opinion.

Kind of like Winston Churchill was when he and Great Britain held out alone against the Nazis in the darkest hours of WWII. I pray that fighting spirit remains on your island, and that you are an aberration.

#72 Just after 9-11, Guardian pig Charlotte Raven produced a terror-apologist screed entitled "A Bully With a Bloody Nose is Still a Bully," the bully in question being the United States.
Our bullying apparently consists of Saddam Hussein his ambition to massacre Shiites and Kurds and resume his quest for weapons of mass destruction. Another cause of grief and resentment among the Islamofascists and their British whores is, of course, our failure to allow a new Holocaust in Israel. In fact, Raven's column is pure projection, since her anger and that of her Muslim masters is based purely on our failure to accede their terror-backed demands.

A few weeks later, a different Guardian trollop demanded that the dead from the WTC be left unidentified so the money that would be spent on this could be donated to third world dictators as an absolution of American sins. It is one thing to criticize, it is another to incite the murder of innocents. Al Guardian goes beyond even the latter, not only inciting the murder of innocents but taunting their grieving families by dehumanizing the murdered.
Raven needs her own rather prominent nose hacked off and handed to her, or perhaps cooked first and served up to Fisk, Pilger, and Galloway as their final meal.

I am not engaging in simple invective when I call these people whores. Arab investors and philanthropists own the academic community and the investor class in the UK. The media beasts are second order prostitutes, catering not to the paymasters directly but to the first order prostitutes who do. They are worse than Streicher, who committed his depraved acts for a nominal salary.

#75 "Blair is a liar, he's not trusted by the majority of British people."
Ummm, so that's why the majority of British people voted for him?

I read this as being some Paki or Saudi who's attending summer school at Oxford. He can't go home for the summer because either:
a. He's on the shit list back at home, or...
b. He doesn't have a valid U.K. visa anymore and won't be able to come back, or...
c. His welfare benefits would end if he left that long, or...
d. He failed "Introduction to Logic" and has to take it again, or...
e. All of the above.

#79 Great reply Steve. I only wish verifiable facts meant anything to a hard leftist like Oxford. A few clarifications:

1. The number of known mass graves is now over 300 with an estimated 500,000 bodies (Der Spiegel, May 20 2005).
2. Iraqi mustard gas was of Soviet process and the equipment for Tabin, Sarin, and VX came primarily from Germany.
3. That bogus UNICEF report was written by officials of Saddam's Ministry of Health and isn't fit to be toilet paper.
4. Don't forget Iraq got 13% of its arms from France. Iraq owed each of these countries a lot of money for those arms.
5. This year about 800 Iraqi civilians/month are dying with terrorist car bombs and criminal (Sunni and Baathist) gangs taking almost the whole total.
7. Too bad it isn't an oil war. Think of the 20 million barrels/day of sweet, sweet crude in the Persian Gulf for the taking and 10s of millions of Arab refugees streaming into Europe for Oxford to genuflect over. A true win-win.

#81 The morality of International Law is much more suspicious than Bush's FORMER connections with the Oil industry: It arose as a mutual recognition of the divine right of kings, who were given, by that same law, the "freedom" to slaughter their own citizens with as much abandon as Saddam has to his own citizens. Even though the term "crime against humanity" was not invented until the 20th century, that does not detract from the fact that it describes actions that had been done for millentia before that. The Church, at the time, demanded that such crimes be punished, usually by one king invading and conquering another. The kings made agreements among themselves, fabricating the basic tenets of mutual non-interference so that they would not be under threat from each other. They then would cite "international law" to the church and justify non-intervention on the basis of needing to "keep one's word".

Those citing International Law in the face of systematic murder are the New Pharisees, more intent on ensuring that the letter of the law is kept while ignoring the human suffering being excused and overlooked by it. And like the Old Pharisees, the New Ones only recognize violations of morality when OTHERS do it, but never when THEY do it.
