Irish should recall Blair's apparent blood lust!

Many British seem to have amnesia on the subject of Blair's love of bombing. The first evidence was Operation Desert Fox which took place in the year following his first election, that'right way back in 1998, recall that event from here, from which comes these quotes:

At the end of Operation Desert Fox, what has the Anglo-American combine gained? A total of 62 Republican guards killed and a few hundred wounded? The damage to civilian life and property has been extensive. At least this is the testimony of Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz. Even if we await the assessments of independent sources, it is unlikely that these will approximate to the Anglo-American exaggerations.

Americans can put it down to President Clinton's impeachment difficulties, but what was the British reason for so shrill and excited a participation in the operations? It wouldbe a sobering experience for Prime Minister Tony Blair to replay the video clips of the simulated vigour of those battle-damage reports outside 10 Downing Street........

When the BBC interviewed the ``brave'' British Tornado pilots in Kuwait after their successful sorties in Iraq, the pilots had their backs to the camera, scared of being identified by the people. Why this fear if they were operating on behalf of the people of Kuwait where the RAF Tornado squadron sparked?

Remember Blair's deviation to Kuwait City to sit at the controls of one of the Tornado Bombers that had taken part in the raid, details of the reports in the press seem to have disappeared. Recall the high altitude bombing of Serbia, unapproved by the UN, who was the greatest cheerleader for these raids and which western politician the most vocal in demanding the continuation and intensification of these raids -none other than the man The Times today tells us, read here, will soon be the President of the hundreds of millions of mostly decent and peaceful EU citizens - Tony Blair. All the rest is more recent and less forgotten history! What value Irish neutrality in an EU with such a man at its head? VOTE NO!
