Tutu tells Blair : Apologise for ' immoral ' war
Edited on Sun Feb-15-04 08:44 PM by Mari333
Archbishop Desmond Tutu will challenge Tony Blair and George Bush today to apologise for their pursuit of a counter-productive and "immoral" war in Iraq.

In a scathing analysis of the background to the invasion, he will ridicule the "dangerously flawed" intelligence that Britain and the US used to justify a military action which has made the world a "great deal less safe".

3. A lying
beeeyaaatch! How many times has he said that he doesn't read newspapers..???

"I was just as surprised as the Yankee fans and the Boston Red Sox fans when I opened up my paper today," President Bush, the Rangers' former owner, told NBC at the Daytona 500. "It, obviously, is a big deal. ... A-Rod's a great player and the Yanks are going to be a heck of a team with him in the infield."

8. TUTU BLASTS 'WEAK' BLAIR AND BUSH
RCHBISHOP Desmond Tutu last night attacked Tony Blair and President Bush for being too weak to say sorry for their "immoral" Iraq war.


He said Britain's claim Iraq could launch weapons of mass destruction in 45 minutes was part of "dangerously flawed" intelligence that led to war.


The Nobel peace prize winner said in London: "An immoral war was thus waged and the world is a great deal less safe place than before."

9. Tutu is a great man.
His criticism of Bush and Blair, especially in Britain, is going to sting a lot.
