Armchair tough talk

In their efforts to drum up more war, arm­chair war crim­in­als can make some pretty out­land­ish state­ments.

This from the prep school punk draft dodging fan­atic himself:

There’s always a tempta­tion in the middle of a long struggle to seek the quiet life, to escape the duties and prob­lems of the world and to hope the enemy grows weary of fan­at­icism and tired of murder. We will keep our nerve and we will win that victory.

And then there’s this pearler from his poodle:

There is no jus­ti­fic­a­tion for Iran or any other coun­try inter­fer­ing in Iraq.

Blair appar­ently said this at a news con­fer­ence with Iraqi Pres­id­ent Jalal Talabani. It reminds me of when they talk about the jihadists in Iraq being “for­eign fight­ers,” as if the hun­dreds of thou­sands of Amer­ic­ans and Brit­ish weren’t foreign.

  1. GeniusNZ,

    I take it from that that you sup­port Iran hav­ing con­sid­er­able con­trol over iraq? (join the dark side)
    Oth­er­wise it would seem you are get­ting upset over the oth­er­side agree­ing with you.

  2. What’s out­land­ish is that a per­son who is argu­ably a war crim­inal for lead­ing his coun­try into an aggress­ive war against Iraq has the gall to then turn around and say, “There is no jus­ti­fic­a­tion for Iran or any other coun­try inter­fer­ing in Iraq.”
