Iran is a "looming threat"

Tony Blair warns

Reuters: Former Prime Minister Tony Blair made a passionate plea on Friday for the West to use force if necessary against Iran over its disputed nuclear programme. Speaking at a London inquiry into the Iraq War where he was having to explain his decision to join the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, Blair said the time had now come to "get our heads out of the sand" and take action against Iran. "I say this with all the passion I possibly can," said Blair, now an envoy for the Quartet of Middle East peacemakers -- the United States, Russia, the EU and the United Nations >>>

The real threat is Israel

Tony Blair is right on Iran. Wrong on Iraq.

by Simorgh5555 on

It is only wrong because it comes from Blair's mouth. His reputation is severely tarnished and his judgement can never be trusted by anyone again. However, he is right. Iaq is different from Iran. It is a threat not because of the nuclear issue which Blair & Co are ratcheting up but because the entire regime is a threat with or without the bomb. The regime will be removed by military action with the support of the Iranian people. 

When Blair says that  there should be an end to the 'wretched policy of apologising' to the IR he is spot on. Is Blair wrong? Isn't the Islamic Republic a terrorist regime? Doesn't the IR terrorise its own people and send assassination squads to murder dissidents and opponents outside Iran? Doesn't the recent secret shipment of arms intercepted in Nigeria and elsewhere demonstrate its desire to spread terror for the sake of its revolution?

What is it that people find objectionable in what Blair saus about Iran? Was he wrong about Iraq? YES.

Is he wrong about Iran? HELL, NO!

To add 2 Tony's misery, Druz leader Jumblatt voted 4 Hezbollah!

by Jonny Dollar on

This would definitely weaken the hands of israeli/US/uk.  I don't care for hezbollah, but there is a real political war in the region about who would have the upper hand and influence in the region. Is it Israel/Us/Uk,  Iran/Syria, or Saudi/..... (Turkey).

Currently, as you know, there is a so called Istanbul talks where  there is a tremendous pressure on Iran, and Tony by his timely speech is trying to add to that pressure while he is trying to deflect criticism for his decision in going to war in the first place. Politics as usual. Of course, Tony is frustrated not to be able to weaken the IRI's influence after all these wars and struggle by them and company to defeat IRI.

The stability and success in Iraq and afgan-arewestillthere-stan is kind of stability we need in Iran.

With his proven track record how could the world go wrong?


Ayatoilet

Not so straight from the Camel's Mouth

by Ayatoilet on

Folks you heard him, he does not give a rat's fish about Islamic Repubilc's human rights record nor the welfare of the Iranian people. He is only claiming to be concerned with IRI this way: "they carry on with the terrorism, they carry on with the destabilization and they carry on with the nuclear weapons..." Is he going to be happy with the IRI if they stop all the three things he says they carry on with.


MM

Mehrdad & disenchanted have a point - plus a question to Admin

by MM on

I do not think you will find one person of Iranian background who regrets that the coalition kicked Saddam's butt to the kingdom come.  However, if starting wars under false pretences or removing bad regimes is what the leaders of the free world should do, then why not have a schedule to:

* eliminate Kim dynasty from N. Korea for extreme oppression

* eliminate Pakistan for harboring Al Qaeda

* eliminate IRI for acquiring the know-how for nuclear technology and oppression

* eliminate Saudi Arabia for supporting Wahabism and oppression of women

* eliminate the Sudanese regime for genocide

* and the list goes on and on......

-----------------------------

Admin - Is it fair to flag those who incite violence, such as bomb this and that?  And, if several people flagged the war-mongers, would it initiate the process of banning a person?

Tony, "Iran" is not a looming threat mate.

by Roozbeh_Gilani on

Islamic Regime  Is and you know it, so spell it out! 

Put your money where your mouth is by disclosing the billions of pounds of blood money in secret British bank accounts of khamenei, ahmadinezhad, rafsanjani and their extended families. Tell us why "islamic associations" , funded by the ministry of intelligence of the islamist regime are popping up in every British University. Did you not notice that all these "islamic societies" are headed by some bearded middle aged "student" with 44 inch waist line and thick mid_eastern accent, driving to college in his E-Class Merc?!!

 Blare expresses his character better. He is an extremely good actor, one who even managed to deceive the British. But I assure you that the Brits will reward him for his unkind games.

norooz

He should have been

by norooz on

He should have been executed for his crimes against humanity, instead he has been given a job as peace maker and what has he been doing with that position, making more wars.  I tell you, he is a special kind of bastard.  But putting him in that position was calculated. They don't want any human rights or peace making organization object and try to stop them when they rage wars. I said this a while back, sooner or later they will use Obama to justify another war.  After All, if Muslim Husein Obama wants war with Muslim eyeranians, they must be real bad. Otherwise, Obama would have never approved it.    

If Obama/west wanted to resolve the issues, there was the chance involving Brazil and Turkey. All these 5+1meetings are BS as well.  They know Iran will not accept the same stupid offers, yet they hold meetings.  All they are trying to do with meetings, is to build a case against Iran, that we have been trying for years, but Iran doesn't cooperate. BILAKH 

what Europe needs is inflation and economic collapse. That will sit them on their seats for a decade or two.

Tony Blair is an EVIL

by Arthimis on

Tony Blair is an EVIL politician! His past records prove that without a shadow of a doubt... However, The ONLY British Politician (ex-Prime Minister England) I ever respected was Mr. John Major! Why? Because I never forget, in "Hard Talk" program on BBC back in September of 2001 (right after 9-11) , he was the ONLY English (British) man who said something like this :

" If you want to see Global Peace, United Kingdom and United States MUST apologize to many people around the world, in particular to the people of Middle East for all the past 50 years of committing crimes against them on so many levels... Once they hear our true intention, We (U.K. & USA) must leave them to make their own decisions and most importantly help them economically to eliminate any further fertile grounds for terrorism!!!!"

That was the last time I heard of John Major in any news media!!! I can't find that show, I think it was a week or two after 9-11! I was in my hotel room in Budapest and saw it on T.V. and was shocked and moved by his sincere and truthful speech on "Hard Talk" BBC!!!!!! His human side came out watching those horrific clips of those two planes hitting the "Twin Towers" and all the people who were killed... (Rest in Peace)

If anyone finds this show please post it here................. 

Peace

The world needs to be cleansed of this british filth.  On a state level, Iran is a dictatorship but using the same standards, the US/UK are a global dictatorship.  He is a war criminal and he can go to hell.

Shut up Tony! Old imperialist England wants iran back too!

by Jonny Dollar on

They went to Iraq together, and now this. Upon entering Irq, UK forign minister said: "We make great partners. We use our knowledge of the region and politics, and US uses its massive military power." (i didn't watch the tapes.)

//www.aolnews.com/2011/01/21/tony-blair-defends-invasion-of-iraq-at-british-war-inquiry/

I really hate the IRI regime! Our hatred for them has blinded some of us from seeing the bigger picture whereby the old and kinda old imperialists are trying to catch fish from the muddy water that this regime has created to achieve their old glory objectives by ruling iran again!
