"Blair’s memoir offers fodder for friends, foes alike" by Jill Lawless, Associated Press | September 2, 2010
LONDON — Tony Blair regrets banning fox hunting but not invading Iraq. He was captivated by Princess Diana, intimidated by Queen Elizabeth II. He heaps praise on President George W. Bush but calls his close colleague Gordon Brown a man of “zero’’ emotional intelligence. He acknowledges that some find him delusional and says he possibly drank a bit too much.
Blair’s long-awaited memoir hit bookstores yesterday, and the revealing, self-justifying 700-page volume offers plenty of fodder for the former British leader’s supporters — and detractors.
Awaited by who? Not me.
Isn't it NICE that your NEWSPAPER is a BOOK-SELLING AGENT, Americans?
The former British prime minister was paid a $7 million advance for “A Journey,’’ which recounts his voyage from political neophyte to youthful prime minister to admired, and then reviled, statesman.
War crimes really do pay!
Iraq is his most divisive legacy, but Blair says he is not sorry for his decision to enter the US-led war — although he wept for its victims. He is donating all proceeds from the book to a charity for wounded troops.
I'm sorry, but HE is a DISGUSTING PIECE of FILTH!!

And he is NOT SORRY for the MILLIONS DEAD and a SHATTERED NATION?
“I . . . regret with every fiber of my being the loss of those who died,’’ Blair writes. “Tears, though there have been many, do not encompass it.’’
He has cried?
HE has CRIED?
Un-f***ing-real, readers!!!!
But, he says, “on the basis of what we do know now, I still believe that leaving Saddam in power was a bigger risk to our security than removing him.’’
Then HE IS INSANE!!!
“I can’t regret the decision to go to war,’’ he says, although he admits that “never did I guess the nightmare that unfolded’’ once Saddam was gone.
He knows his position is unpopular....
Try DESPISED and HATED!!
The book was selling briskly in British stores yesterday and was number one on Amazon’s British bestseller list, though it was struggling to break the top 100 in the United States.
I'm not going to buy that self-justifying piece of sophistry!
It also drew a protest by peace activists outside a London store. Lindsey German of the Stop the War Coalition branded Blair a war criminal and said the book was “trying to justify the unjustifiable.’’
Yes, we are STILL HERE!
As long as their is WAR someone will protest!
**********
For many Americans, he remains a valued ally who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the United States in the fight against international terrorism.
Which Americans would those be, AP?
Most of them don't even know who Tony Bliar (sic) is.
He is scheduled to receive the 2010 Liberty Medal from former President Bill Clinton in Philadelphia Sept. 13....
Oh, the globalist elite are the many, I see.
And that awarding is SICKENING! From ONE WAR CRIMINAL to ANOTHER!
Former President George W. Bush is praised as intelligent, a friend, and “a true idealist.’’
INSANITY!!!
“I was asked recently which of the political leaders I had met had most integrity: I listed George near the top,’’ Blair says.
(Blog editor shaking his head in speechless astonishment)
Blair compares the fight against Islamist extremism to the Cold War and says the struggle in Afghanistan and elsewhere must go on for “as long as is necessary’’ — possibly decades....
There is the DUTIFUL SERVANT pushing the AGENDA AGAIN!!
ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Elsewhere, Blair speaks of his relationship with alcohol, saying he drank a whisky or a gin and tonic before dinner, and a “couple of glasses of wine or even half a bottle with it.’’
“I had a limit,’’ he says.’’ But I was aware it had become a prop’’ — though, on balance, he thinks booze did him more good than harm.Oh, so he is a DRUNK, too?
Yeah, ALCOHOLISM actually DID HIM GOOD, can you believe it!!??
--more--"
I'm sorry, but WHAT a STINKING HUNK of GLOBALIST SHIT!!!
