The number of people still prepared to defend the Iraq War in public is tiny. The interesting thing is the very strong correlation between those people, and those prepared to pretend to give credence to the farcical sexual allegations about Julian Assange. Zoe Williams Guardian piece about what a jolly good chap Blair is I find breathtaking. War crimes like Blair’s result in terrible anguish for millions. I am prepared for purposes of argument to believe that Williams’ anguish for female victims of crime is genuine; why she can’t extend that to the tens of thousands of women who were raped because of Blair’s Iraq War, or had the still worse agony of seeing their children killed and mutilated I don’t know. Nick Cohen is just very, very sad. I just hold up these two in the hope that those deceived by feminist political correctness into following their lead against Assange will see to what they are subscribing.
Rather a side issue, but even if we accept Zoe Williams view that dead Iraqi children don’t matter, she appears not to have noticed that Blair introduced tuition fees, academies, kick-started NHS privatization, allowed the banksters’ bonanza leading to worldwide economic crash and oversaw the greatest widening of the gap between rich and poor in British history.

I haven’t visited “Squonk”, but it appears the loonies have their very own hate forum. Or rather, they have taken over another blog and turned it into that.
I’d bet not one of them actually uses “Habbabreak” as they are clearly devoid of purpose without you.

Calling me a liar now you useless fucking cunt.

Let’s keep it simple.
I have presented a case whereby the West’s intervention in Libya has been disastrous for its people. You disagree. Please tell me how you believe the majority of Libyan people have benefited from Gaddafi’s overthrow.
Mark; In the same year (1990) James Baker and Bush Sr. asked for help in the transition of governance in Nicaragua from Sandanista to the oppos (guess who?) and several carrots were held up to Russia, like food for the struggling masses. We always have a caveat to aid.
Immediate end to sanctions dove-tails with de-funding the Contras, and then the bottom dropped out of the cocaine market.
“Chamarro’s election was a repudiation of over 10 years of Sandinista rule that had been characterized by a destructive war with the Contras and a failing economic system. The United States saw Chamarro’s victory as validation of its long-time support of the Contras, and many analysts likened the electoral defeat of the Sandinistas to the crumbling of communist regimes in Eastern Europe during the same period. Critics of the U.S. policy toward Nicaragua retorted that negotiations among the Central American presidents had brought free elections to Nicaragua—which nearly 10 years of American support of armed conflict had been unable to accomplish.
In the wake of the election, the administration of President George Bush immediately announced an end to the U.S. embargo against Nicaragua and pledged new economic assistance. Though rumors flew that the Sandinista-controlled army and security forces would not accept Chamarro, she was inaugurated without incident. The Sandinistas, however, continued to play a role in Nicaraguan politics and still actively campaign for, and occasionally win, political office.”

thank you for this link to the story of Gaddafi spending much of his oil revenue on the Great Man-Made River Project.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/libyas-water-wars-and-gaddafis-great-man-made-river-project/5334868
In July 2011, NATO not only bombed the Great Man-Made River water supply pipeline near Brega, but also destroyed the factory that produces the pipes to repair it, claiming in justification that it was used as “a military storage facility” and that “rockets were launched from there”.
….thus proving that Gaddafi was not only a visionary but a prophet.

Well, Fred, when you claim that you’ve never posted on Squonk’s blog and I then point to 6 posts (just in April 2014) from you on Squonk, what word would you choose to describe yourself?
For ease of reference, I’ll give your posts on Squonk once again :
“6 times, eg April 3 at 16h05, April 11 at 08h06, April 12 at 13h59 ( The thread with a picture of General Melchett from Blackadder at the top).”.
Oink! Oink!
You’ve been outed, Old Man.

You’re right, I inadvertently misquoted you : I should have quoted you as saying that you “don’t say anything there”.
But, of course, you do! 🙂
Oink!

Anon The only one mentioning Jews here is you.
“I have presented a case whereby the West’s intervention in Libya has been disastrous for its people. You disagree. Please tell me how you believe the majority of Libyan people have benefited from Gaddafi’s overthrow. ”
Now you’re distorting the truth again. Where have I said such a thing?
The claim was that Gaddafi’s regime was a direct democracy run for the benefit of it’s people and not an autocratic dictatorship where the ruling elite oppressed the population and creamed off billions for themselves. I think I’ve provided enough information to settle that. Only time will tell if the new regime is going to be any better.
Oh and spending half of one year’s oil revenue over the space of 12 years on an irrigation project, whilst worthwhile and impressive, doesn’t change anything.
Why wasn’t this fare dodger prosecuted? A massive fraud was committed over a period and he gets anonymity too.

” doesn’t change anything.”
I disagree, Kempe. K. was crazy like a fox. I’m not casting a halo over the man, just recognizing what he recognize; the information age is changing the way they do business.
Just as Al Capone utilized his exemplary PR skills to gain public support by giving out free turkeys at Christmas and New Years, made his a working class hero.
K. was no dummy, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t do a lot of good to go with the bad, does it?
When Tony Blair was in residence, according to the diaries of his former communications director, Alastair Campbell, before the illegal invasion of Iraq, for which Blair’s Downing Street offices produced fantasy, fictional, false justifications, the then Prime Minister was guided by his faith and regularly spoke to “his Maker.” Blair may have “spoken” – but, as ever, he clearly didn’t listen.
Proverbs (6:16-19) rules on six personality traits his “Maker” abhors and seven that are an abomination to Him: “Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord …” Blair ticks every box, shattering any claim to his trumpeted Christian principles.
Last Wednesday (9th April 2014) at his Easter reception at Downing Street for Christian leaders, Cameron reportedly again claimed divine inspiration when he drafted his key concept for the Conservative Party – he was doing God’s work.
After a soprano sang Ave Maria the Prime Minister’s address included that: “It is the case that Christians are now the most persecuted religion around the world. We should stand up against persecution of Christians and other faith groups wherever and whenever we can.”(4)
No mention of the years of Western-led attacks on majority Muslim countries, where both and all faiths have lived together, shared feasts and grief together for millennia. No mention of divide and rule. But maybe a whiff of a subliminal message, Syria is still on the radar.

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
Well, what are you saying? Do you agree that the West’s intervention was a disaster for the people of Libya?
Brian,
Craig’s blog could do with the ability to edit your own comment to correct mistakes. Now where have I seen that before 🙂
Brian; You picked up on the theme of Easter’s approach and it is good for all of good faith to recognize their sinful nature and gives umbrage to the false followers who usurp the title Christian and correspondingly derogate the reputation of one they see as the Son of God.
I think those who are fortunate enough to be well fed and healthy followers of one who took a vow of poverty (having but one possession upon his demise; his clothing), might be humble enough to confess their sins and henceforth, commit them no more.
In tribute; it’s the very least thing they could do.
I write as a non-believer, but with huge respect for those with a true faith of all denominations, for the beautiful words and buildings created in love and reverence, in the architecture of the inspired or the simple meeting places, with the reverence palpable within.
To warp the spirit of that wonder, create enemies and a religious “other” at worse and bitter resentment at a lowly best, then whinge: “Why do they hate us?” is not belief, but deviance. Cameron would have been more apt in citing Judas as inspiration than Jesus.
“Beware false prophets”, there are some very powerful ones around and these are dangerous times.
