Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister, is not sorry for his role in aiding former US President George W. Bush launch the military invasion and occupation of Iraq. But he certainly sounds sorry in a newly published report, and that's what counts?
From today's Mail Online:
Speaking on BBC Radio 3's Belief programme - being broadcast at 11 o'clock this morning ahead of Easter - Mr Blair said his decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003 had not been taken lightly.
He said: 'I do not pass a single day in which I do not reflect on this and think of the responsibility.
'I think these decisions are the most difficult you ever take, and you cannot and should not take them incidentally because you believe that you have some religious conviction that's superior to anyone else.'
All the innocent lives which have been snuffed out since the invasion and ensuing bloodletting are not even partially his responsibility, he suggested. "I say the responsibility lies with the people doing the terrorism because there's no reason for them to do the terrorism."
That's an interesting Theory Mr. Blair has. Who better than our readers to offer arguments to the contrary?

Bush & the Blair Poodle
Blair the unapologetic, lying mass murderer. Needs to hang at the Hague when the war trials are finished. His head on a pike at 10 Downing after they rip it off his sorry body with a too long rope, just like they did to Saddam. War mongers need to find that there is indeed such a thing as JUSTICE when they MASS MURDER innocent millions in their ruthless conquests for power and oil.
Mr. Blah,
You are so full of blah...
I have learned, since you and W were in "power" to talk like a politician....Blah, Blah,
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah....
It's amazing to me that people like you can look at themselves in the mirror much less say "reflect on the responsibility." of what? The dead and the injured, the people who will never look at the US or Britain in the same way...You sir{I mean that lightly} are a murderer AND a liar, why is that so hard for some folks to believe? {dumb}
You knew there were no "weapons of mass destruction" and you knew Bush was a liar too, so don't you dare say you have "regrets". I regret having ever heard your names and will for the rest of this life! So please...PLEASE, QUIT GIVING INTERVIEWS!
Now, why don't you just go and write your "memoirs" hopefully on some far away place, like Mars {planet of war} and tell the world how much you "regret" being a total fool... "Woof, Woof" {poodle for regret}

What haunts Bliar daily is the very real threat of prosecution.
He's almost totally disappeared from the British scene, a most unusual event for a prime minister who served ten years in office. The Labour Party has done to him what Stalin did to Leon Trotsky, sans the ice-pick.
Stupid answer by Blair. Perhaps one could consider Saddam Hussein himself to be a terrorist, but that does not justify destroying Iraq, as he was no danger to the US.
If you want to fight terrorists, why did we not wage the big war effort against Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and perhaps Pakistan ???
Blair and Bush are the biggest terrorists of this decade.
He was happy with the children killed before the atack, I remember he sais was
happy because the cildren killed was less soldiers to Sadam, Blair is a big - big
criminal, and is guilty like americans de genocide and wars crime.
He now want the presidency of European Union, but I can't believe the European
acepting a war criminal.
Gee. That's mighty white of Blair. I'm sure that's comforting to the families of those British soldiers killed as a result of this clusterfuck.
Tony Blair: A fascist Ziocon who should be tried for war crimes.
In a nutshell that's his legacy. Spain, Albania, and the international court take care of this guy and give him his reward.
He said: 'I do not pass a single day in which I do not reflect on this and think of the responsibility. AND it will curtail his travel as REAL countries go after war criminals. Poor Tony, no more vaca's on the Spainish coast or dinner in Amsterdam. He can always visit his criminal partner Geo Bush at his ranch in Paraguay.
Life can get difficult, especially if you are stupid. Either Tony Blair was too much in love with his nostalgia of "America." and could not see, or he was beguiled by the folksy woo of a buffoon in George Bush. Regardless, Tony Blair’s record is forever stained.
The GIs who are now blind, amputees, or paralyzed for the rest of their lives aren't haunted. They're totally fucked. Thanks Tony.

The trouble is: we all look at and comment on the stage show; the real show is behind the scenes and we are not privy to it.
Prison for Bush's poodle.
