War pitch wearing thin

BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair is nothing if not persistent. In Australia for the close of the Commonwealth Games, Blair continued to trumpet his failed Iraq policy, to the consternation of his counterpart Australian Labor leader.
The Bush sycophant predictably championed close ties with the US, saying: "When I look at the problems of the world today, none of them can be solved without America."
Defending the Iraq adventure, Blair said; "This is why this global terrorism is so anxious to stop us in Iraq and Afghanistan - because if they succeed in that then they stop the possibility of democracy taking the place of religious fanaticism in these countries.
"The essence of the winning strategy is to say that our ultimate security lies in the spread of our values. These are not Western values. They are actually universal values, and the key to winning this battle is to match our concern with security and finding security with concern for democracy and justice," He added
All this from a man who is increasingly in the spotlight for his questionable election funding ‘values’, among other things. Tony ‘the wonder boy’ is rapidly becoming Tony the walking disaster.
No doubt Blair is looking to generate some positive media from the colonies to bolster his flagging popularity at home. It’s hard to see just why Brits would give a tuppenny damn about what Australian’s think, but Tony is getting desperate, obviously.
In truth, the former colonials, with the exception of his fellow sycophant John Howard, would more than likely be inclined to tell the British PM to ‘go to bloody hell’ and take his pissweak justifications with him.
He is, as the robust Australians would have it, ‘on a hiding to nothing!’
