Blair: No apology for Iraq war
« on: Sep 28th, 2004, 10:22am » |

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has refused to apologize for the Iraq war but admitted that the intelligence on Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction "turned out to be wrong."
Blair went on to say: "The evidence about Saddam having actual biological and chemical weapons, as opposed to the capability to develop them, has turned out to be wrong.

part of that news:
But the prime minister replied: "That's fine, sir. You can make your protest. Just thank goodness we live in a democracy and you can."
You can protest, but you can't change anything about it. Freedom of speech... accomplishing nothing. Great.
Rummy did the very same thing. "I take responsability ( for the Abu Graib abuses ), it happened under my watch" So what did he do, after a load of people used their freedom of speech to break down his policies, and he took responsibility? Nothing.

in my opinion, that weapon of mass destruction was not really the primary reason of attacking iraq, could be one of the reasons. Anyhow, the impact brought by the twin tower tragedy was i think the main reason behind. The rumors about weapon of mass destruction, triggers the attack, but probably i'd like to think it this way, that anyone who's in power, will always execute precautionary measures. It's too unfair for Iraqui people, causing deaths of innocent citizen out of rumor. I'll condemn Bush myself if i'm an Iraqui.....but could be reasonable on the part of Bush. I understand Bush can be so dogmatic, but hearing threats like that especially if it involves the masses...anyone who's in power can't just disregard that and be in peace....especially we all know nothing is impossible with terrorist people. It's kind of shallow opinion but then i'm sure there's more to it, like eradicating the terrorist outta this world. But we knew Bush failed.

For all of you who dont believe that Iraq had weapons or wasnt planning to develop weapons you need to read this book. "The Bomb in My Back Yard" by Mahdi Obeidi. Mr. Obeidi was Sadams top nuclear scientest who right b4 dessert storm burried the plans of developing a nuclear weapon. Mr Obeidi has even stated that Sadam ordered him to continue his research on developing a nuclear weapon after dessert storm or he would be killed by Sadams thugs. He gave these plans to United States Inteligence when the US invaded Iraq the 2nd time. He has openly admited that he was developing a nuclear weapon for Sadam. Blair shouldnt apologize there is nothing to apologize for. You dont see Bush apologizing either. They had enough evidence to do what they did. Now its election time and both Bush and Blair are gonna say anything to get votes. Thats cool, but lets be realistic, neither one of them is sorry for doing what they did. They did the right thing with the information they had and they would do the same thing again if given the opportunity. They also did the world a favor by ousting Sadam out of power. He was no good for the world and no good for his own country.

I am not saying that American leaders give in to terrorists, what I'm saying that their process in attacking the problem is tragically flawed.
The war was started on completely false pretenses.
Bush's unnessesary war has killed twice as many CIVILIANS as were killed by 9/11.
Bush wanted Saddamn dead and would use just such an unrealistic excuse to justify a war. He barged in there without a thought, and never bothered to check facts and only said "You're either with us, or against us."
Most of the action was justified on the basis of lies and corruption, and motivation from personal gain.

Both Bush and Blair thought about everything. This wasnt a spur of the moment decision. They have advisors both military and civilian that he probably asked thier opinions. Then he went to congress showed them the evidence and most of congress agreed. Sadam was gonna build weapons of mass destruction. He used chemical weapons on his own people. He was never gonna stop trying to build them. He needed to be taken care of. He should of been taken care of in 1991. The liberation of Iraq was very necessary. Most of middle east is unstable, poor, and uneducated. They live like its the Dark Ages over there. I know its sad that innocent people die. It sucks. But you cant have it both ways. People die in war. Sometimes not the right people. If you are in a fox hole fighting with your buddy and your buddy gets shot you got 2 choices to make. 1. Think about how awful things are or 2. continue your fight and try to make things better. Im all for peace, but in order to keep peace you have to make some decisions and sacrafices and do what the United States did. Its not about, oh u just should mind your own business and take care of your own problems. Its about what we need to do in order to make this planet a better place to live. I know Sadam had weapons. I know he was gonna continue to try to make them. Sadam is a terrorist. No doubt about it in my book. The liberation of Iraq isnt what killed those innocent Iraqi civilians. Yes American bombs were dropped on innocent people, but in reality it was the power hungry greed of Sadam that killed them. He could of walked away and given his power up. But he chose to hide among his own people like a coward just like terrorists do. Terrorists want you to see all the innocent people being killed. It makes their cause seem to be sympathetic. But you cant give in to what you see or hear. You cant give them what they want. If you do you are just gonna have to deal with them again and again. So you have to go find them yourself and terrorists hide among civilians. Thats the way they fight.

I'll agree with you on almost every point you've made. I'm especially angry with Bush, as an American, because I feel he blatantly lied to the American people by using WMDs as a pretext for invading.
