The main mistake is one that 5 Supreme Court justices should apologize for…Bush v. Gore.
“It is not clear to me, even if our policy (in 2003) did not work, that subsequent policies have worked better.”
That’s because you and the other war criminals fucked up the region beyond all recognition, Tony.
This guy’s got some stones. “Mistakes?” No, a mistake is when you buy cherry Pepsi instead of regular Pepsi. What you pudknockers did was a crime.
“I apologize for the fact that the intelligence we received was wrong,” he said. “I also apologize for some of the mistakes in planning and, certainly, our mistake in our understanding of what would happen once you removed the regime.”
Why are British leaders outside of Maggie such pansies? He should take a play from the American book and double-down on the rightness of his decision making. Is there a problem now, well then, it’s the fault of the current leader no matter how screwed up you made it beforehand.
Awww thanks, Tony. Now that you apologized, all the people who died in Iraq, as a result of your “mistake”, will now come back to life, and live happily ever after! Problem solved, guys! Tony Blair apologizing fixed it all! Like a time machine, it went back in time and fixed it! Well done, Mr. Blair…Well done!
Forgive my ignorance, but can The Hague launch its own investigation? What sort of authority/jurisdiction do they have? Can anyone lend some insight into this?
Blair belongs in the dock at The Hague along with Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, and the rest of the people who planned and executed a war of aggression.
These folks have no choice but to apologize defensively – to the grave. Must be hell.
The 224,000+ deaths can now be classified as “accidental”
F8ck you, Tony. You were a willing stooge for Shrub.
