Tony Blair: I was 'plain stupid' to axe Jack Straw (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Tony you have being making mistakes ever since you become Prime Minister.

The biggest one was going to WAR IN IRAQ.

You have blood on your hands blair and your wife has done some dogey dealings with criminals REGARDING HOUSES.

Not a suprise when she was living with a WAR CRIMINAL..

War settles nothing . . . To win a war is as disastrous as to lose one!
Dame Agatha Christy 1890-1976

Tony Blair’s illegal invasion of Iraq is reputed to have caused over 120 thousand innocent peoples lives and the only people to have benefited are yourselves!!
-
> To Tony Blair & Jack Straw: Were the lies to invade Iraq worth all of those lives? May both will always be remembered for only that!

Jack Straw was moved from his job immediately following the visit of MS Rice from the USA.

I have no doubt that it was pressure from her because of Jack's stance against the war that caused Blair to move him.

At this distance in time all he can do is come up with a fairly lame excuse I find to be just about typical of the man.

Just 2 points :
1. Do you think the Saddam regime was some f**** g tea -party. They systematically killed and tortured huge numbers of Iraqis and posed a very serious threat to regional stability. Just because weapons of mass destruction were not found does not mean they dont exist.

2.UK servicemen are full time professionals paid t fight wars. Even iif politicians lie about the war, its irrelevant,. As a full time professional you are paid to fight and just get on with it. They warn you to this effect before you sign on for service.

Methinks you have imbibed too much of the brew, Tetley Drinker.
Weapons of mass destruction DID NOT exist in Iraq at the time of the so called war against terror.
And if you think it is OK for politicians to lie about war, then you are nothing but a sheep like drone.
IT IS NOT OK FOR POLITICIANS TO LIE ABOUT THE WARS IN IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN: FULL STOP.
Billions have been spent on them while pensioners live in poverty in our own country: these wars are about MONEY AND POWER, nothing more nothing less.

In my honestly held opinion Tony Blair was instructed by the Americans to axe "John Straw". As has been pointed out "John Straw" was axed immediately after Condoleezza Rice visited Blackburn and was shamefully heckled by the "usual suspects" in front of Blackburn Town Hall. It would not have gone unnoticed by the Americans that there was a great deal of anger and resentment displayed towards "John Straw" by some of his constituents. No doubt the American's could not take a chance on a "Foreign Secretary" who needed his constituents to remain as an MP, that is a "Foreign Secretary" who may go "off message". Hence in my honestly held opinion "John Sraw" was axed. On a slightly different note, it is alarming to see Mr Blair back in the news. It brings back a huge amount of bad memories. We must never forget that "New Labour" are warmongers. They took the U.K. into several unnecessary wars for which we are still paying the price. "New Labour" sent our brave young soldiers to war whilst at the same time they allowed hundreds of thousands of dangerous criminals, includingTerrorists, into the U.K. "New Labour" were also responsible for the Human Rights Act which allows dangerous Terrorists, even those planning to kill U.K. subjects, to remain in the U.K. at the U.K. taxpayers expense. "New Labour" are also responsible for allowing "Home Grown" Terrorism to fester in the U.K. with the tragic consequences that due to "New Labour" were inevitable."New Labour" infected and corrupted the U.K. with their Politically Disorientated, Spendaholic, Champagne Socilalism, Politically (in)corret policies. "New Labour" are responsible for the economic and moral decline of the U.K. We must never allow "New Labour" back into office. Are you listening Mr Miliband?

If you read the report on this war you will find that "Weapons of Mass distruction did not exist at the time of the so called war" statement from yourself is not entirely true. The weapons inspectors wanted more time to investigate thing further. And although at the time we invaded Iraq non were found it was established during and since from evidence found and top men in the reigeme who were arrested, some executed, that Saddam did retain the technology, knowhow, scientintists and laboratories to start manufacturing these weapons of mass distruction. Ask the question why? He was not afraid to murder countless thousands of his own people using these weapons. He was not afraid to start wars and invade his neighbouring countries and use such methods and he was known to utterly ditest the western world and openly say all muslims should declare a holy war on us! Saddam was a tyrent a very evil dictator who not only terrorised his own people but others. The world is a much safer place without him or his reigeme in place. And with the county being buitl up again and run by its own people the citizens will in time benefit. The las remaing fighting troops are withdrawn and the rest of the allied forces are helping to build the infrastructure with the iraqie people, are helping to buld a well trained police force, a well trained army and an un corrupted government that will be fairly elected by the people of Iraq.

War is never nice, especially with innocent people being killed, but again ask yourself about the Saddam reigeme, putting human shields around itself! Cowadice at the highest level. Our soldiers being killed is never nice, but they are soldiers and know this when they sign on that dotted line and take the oath.

Iraq and the world is a muc safer and stable place without Saddam and his reigeme. And if Iran continue in the provocative manner in which they are and continue with their plutonium enrichment then we should invade and topple them. I would back any government who would help to make our world a safer place.

Yes indeed, many thanks to the writers above who have already used the phrase War Criminal. But APART from being a war criminal, what else has this slimey barsteward done to deserve his notoriety ? The words he used on a daytime chat show saying that he would have gone into Iraq ANYWAY, is an insult to the hundreds of British troops killed and injured, plus the millions of civilians over there that have been killed, and the thousands of the innocents who are yet to be murdered by Islamics who regard Tony Blair's actions as a direct insult to Islam !! The guy makes my skin creep - he is a War Criminal who deserves as much as the Nazis did duing the trials in Nuremburg after the war. Quite apart from being a War Criminal, the slimy toad is a multi-millionaire, and YOU PROMOTE HIS BOOK ? The first thing he did after leaving Downing Street was to convert to Catholicism-- well, what's going to happen to him in the afterlife, well, he will need all the help he can get. I get the feeling that this nasty piece of work will come to a sticky end !

your right jack he should have potted you years ago

Tony Blair is a Slime Ball. End of

Yes good post. I never liked Blair or Labour but which ever party\prime minister was in government at the time would of made the same decision for the reasons above.

I couldn't agree more, and everyone knows that Jack Straw was axed after the visit of Condoleeza Rice. I wonder what she reported back!

Michael of clitheroe. There are two phrases, both imported from America, and used by people of limited intelligence in this country which really hack me off. They are '24/7' and 'end of'.

Nuff said.

(Thats a joke by the way)

Mike Costa says:

Oh, and Tony Blair isnt a slime ball compared with many that have run this country in the past, and indeed, in the present. At least he isnt a member of the aristoctacy

or even aristocracy

By the way, who exactly is "Jack Straw". Answers on a postcard please.

He couldn't be a 'smart arse' since he doesn't possess two 'smart' brain cells. He's a pretentious loser no mark.

hey DEO VOLENTE

Tony Blair? After watching some of his television appearances recently I’m beginning to wonder that perhaps it would be of benefit to us all if high ranking politicians would have to undergo a serious test for possible mantel problems. He really does appear to be living in another world!

I agree.It's his ability to go around without considering the suffering that he has caused. Indeed saddam hussain was a mad man, almost as crazy as DEO VOLENTE, but there opinions that saddam needed to be, just to keep the waring factions apart. Even now in Iraq, there are bombing on a daily scale. Saddam's removal does not justify the loss, pain and damage caused by blair's acts of stupidity.
