Blair faces Iraq families' anger
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/4507485.stm

The wife of the latest British soldier to be killed in Iraq has blamed Tony Blair for his death.
Guardsman Anthony Wakefield was killed by a roadside bomb on Monday. His wife, Ann Toward, said Mr Blair should not have sent him to war.

Other relatives of troops killed in Iraq warn they intend to take legal action over the war.

Mr Blair on Monday night told ITV he had given up trying to persuade people over the war but defended his honesty.

1. Blair is a pile of shit
I actually hope Michael Howard and the Tories win, at least they are honest about what they believe and they have called out Blair for what he is: a phony and a liar.

4. I wouldn't shed a tear if Labour loses.
Even liberal governments that deceive the people need to be ousted. What is to deter them from doing it again?

If the Democrats were doing what Bush was doing, I would not support them either.

I'm unclear why the Labour Party can't simply oust Blair as the leader. Couldn't they just jettison Blair and his Iraq baggage?

7. The Tories are the UK's equivalent to the Republicans
They backed the war and are corporatists. They'd be as good for the British people on the domestic front as the Rethugs are for us here. Please don't wish more bad things on the Brits because of Blair.

3. What a waste of
a good son! My heart goes out to these parents of all the Soldiers who have had to follow orders from the lies leading into Iraq.

tony and bush should have a special Hell on Earth because of what they're done to the Soldiers and the Iraqis.
