| Clinton In Fury Over Blair Iraq 'Betrayal' | ||
| 2004-08-19 | ||
BILL Clinton has accused Tony Blair of "betraying" him over the way he backed the Iraq War. The former President has privately told Democratic Party friends Mr Blair should have challenged George Bush more. A senior Labour source who visited Democrats in the US revealed: "Clinton feels betrayed by what Blair did. He feels the PM gave Bush respectable cover for the war and under- estimated his influence, which could have been put to better uses. But he has made it clear he's not going to hold a grudge."

| #16 JoeM. Bro you need to break that down a little. Were pretty good here at banging our heads about everything natural under the sun. But your logic is still in a stage that is beyond my feeble mind. But, alas, I'm easily lead. So in the coming days make your argument take shape. For instance; Nuke Mecca, free muslims, or some such. But don't, please, be put off. I look forward to yours. |

| #14 The same Bill Clinton whom reportedly supported Dubya's decisions for war, saying that he prob or likely would had made the same ones, but did so while lauding the UNO's effort to challenge America's alleged GOP-Right-Far Right Extremists!? The same Clinton whose alleged American "CENTRISM" presumes that Mainstream/Middle America, Blue-Collar America = majorially or predominantly, and COVERTLY, per se Left-based COMMUNIST andor Left-based SOCIALIST while also being OVERT VERSIONS OF THE GOP-RIGHT [Anti-Unitarian Unitarianism]; and that in reality America's Global WOT = INTER-SOCIALIST WAR/CONFLICT, for the "KIND OF SOCIALISM" that America will have, where each and all USPOTUS Elex > INTRA-SOCIALIST COMPETITION AMONGST DIFFERENT AMERICAN SOCIALIST FRACTIONS??? If one accepts that the Clintons lead the Democratic Party, then the Clinton agenda = Democrat agenda = Kerry agenda = America-GOP/Right must be absolutely DISCREDITED in order to empower American-specific COMMUNISM, SOCIALISM, and any Commie-Socialist America under SOCIALIST UN-based OWG! As per Bill Clintons own anti-USA/Weak USA "BIG BOY" speech, what the Communist Clintons and their cabal want is a COMMUNIST SOCIALIST, NON-SOVEREIGN AMERICA THAT IS NO LONGER IN CONTROL O'ER ITS OWN GOVERNMENT, ECONOMY, RESOURCES, AND ENDOWMENTS, A MERE AUTONOMOUS WEAK WORLD-GLOBAL SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OR DOMINION OR SUB-STATE AMONGST OTHER WEAK SOCIALIST REPUBLICS OR DOMINIONS OR SUBSTATES - if the Clintons lead the Dems or DemLibs, their DNC and Convention psekaers, including the Clintons themsleves, ONCE AGAIN didn't even have the GUMPTION or ADULT MATURITY or professionalism or LEFT-BELOVED SECULAR ETHICS to tell their own dedicated believers they and all Americans are now all Communist(s)-for-Fascism-for-Communism, Leftism-for-Rightism-for-Leftism, and Asianists-forAmericanists/Westernists-for-Asia! During the Cold War FRANCE and the FRENCH LEFT, amongst all the Euro-/Western Lefts, was the most PRO-SOVIET/COMMUNIST/STALINIST of the batch, and directly or indirectly dominated French Leftism - given the current ANTI-AMERICANISM, which the Clintons are a major part of, its very possible that POST-COLD WAR, ANTI-US FRANCE = MINI-USSR or USSR EUROPE-WEST! Just as Dubya has pro-Islamist IRAN between US/Brit/Coalition-controlled IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN, the Failed Left, including and espec "DOWN-BUT-NOT-OUT" CREEPING/INVISIBLE COMMUNISM, has EUROPE and its anti-USSR EuroLeft between FRANCE and RUSSIA, just as democratic JAPAN is being surrounded by nuclearizing Commie NORTH KOREA and CHICOMS IN RUSSIA's FAR EAST-SIBERIA, just as democratic SOUTH KOREA-TAIWAN is between Communist NORTH KOREA and CHINA proper, just as AMERICA per se has to deal with Terrorists INFILTRATING BOTH CANADA and MEXICO. soon enough one day invading Commie armies to ALLEGEDLY SAVE AMERICA FROM ITSELF, FROM ITS OWN ALLEGED EMPIRIC, "ANTI-DEMOCRATIC" "IMPERIALISM"! Reagan has his anti-Communist DUAL-TRACK and FLEXIBLE RESPONSE policies, now so do the post-Cold War "ANTI-COMMUNIST" COMMUNISTS have their own ANTI-DEMOCRACY/WEST DUAL TRACK and FLEXIBLE RESPONSE against America and the West - while American warriors kill Failed Leftism-Socialism-Communism's Islamist mercenaries-proxies abroad, THE REAL BATTLE IS FOR CONTROL OF AMERICA, AMERICA'S GOVERNMENT, AND THE WHOLE OF AMERICA'S ESTABLISHMENT - Leftism = Rightism, Socialism = Capitalism, Communism = Fascism, Confederatism = Federalism........etal, Communist Fascist America = Communist Fascist RUSSIA and wannabe CHINA. Decapitate and Kill America like captive Nick Berg, and the rest of Europe and the Democratic World will die quickly. Russia and China are already prepping their modernizing armed forces to wage GLOBAL NUCLEAR WAR SCENARIOS against America and only America - read, if the Clintons and America-destabilizing LIMITED WARS FAIL TO SUBVET AMERICA UNTO SOCIALISM, circa 2015-2020 as per LeftBlog desire, Russia and China are preparing to wage de facto MUTUALLY DESTROYING GLOBAL NUCLEAR WAR AS FAILED LEFTISM-SOCIALISM's FINAL, DESPERATE, SPITEFUL "PARTHIAN SHOT" FOR SOCIALIST POWER AND VICTORY, ala BETTER TO RULE OVER A POOR, REGRESSED ANDOR DESTROYED, UNITARY SOCIALIST WORLD, OR REMNANTS OF A WORLD THAN FOR COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM TO NOT RULE THE WORLD AT ALL, EVER! The Failed Left knows Leftism-Socialism in any form are grotesque failures - BUT, THEY REFUSE TO REFORM, REFUSE TO SHARE POWER OR COEXIST, AND REFUSE TO ADOPT AMERICAN METHODISMS. THE LEFT IS SO POLITICIZED, POWER-MAD AND DELUSIONAL THEY'D RATHER SEE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING DESTROYED RATHER THAN HONESTLY REFORM LEFTISM-SOCIALISM, EVEN FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT - as illustrated by 9-11, the Clintons, and their desire to cause or induce world-wide wars to destabilize America while arguing against same, THEY NEED TO FORCE OR TRICK AMERICA, AND AMERICAN VOTERS, EVEN THEIR OWN, UNTO SOCIALISM AND "JUSTIFIED" SOCIALISM, AND FINAL COMMUNISM! ITS NOT "GLOBALISM", STUPID, NOR IS IT TO PROVE THAT ONLY-IN-AMERICA CAN SOCIALISM OR EMPIRICISM OR IMPERIALISM WORK - ITS [DISGUISED] COMMUNISM, STUPID, WITH SOCIALIST AMERICA NOT INTENDED TO BE THE LEADER IN ANYTHING ANYMORE! As also illustartred by the Clinton-led DNC's desire for American Democrats to begin using the sur-SOCIALIST/REGULATOR label PROGRESSIVE, instead of LIBERAL, any each and all so-called American LIBERALS NOW BELONG TO THE GOP-RIGHT WHETHER THEY KNOW IT OR NOT, LIKE IT OR NOT, JUST ANOTHER "USEFUL IDIOT" FOR POLITICS, FAKERY, AND SOCIALISM, AS YOUSE ALWAYS WERE TO THE LEFT, AND WHOSE STILL A "USEFUL IDIOT" FOR COMING NON-AMERICAN LED AND ANTI-AMERICAN GLOBAL COMMUNISM -ooooooooooooooooooppppppppppppppsssssss, I meant GLOBALISM! |

| #11 Clinton? The fellow who signed the bill making the removal of Saddam Hussein not just American policy, but law? |

| #10 the brit left line - Blair is bushes poodle. The obvious Blairite response - Clinton still says the war was not a mistake, and Blair was always close to Clinton. The brit left HAS to show that Clinton thinks Blair was to close to Bush on Iraq, even if theyve got to make stuff up. Not something theyre not used to doing anyway. |

| #9 Senior Democrats are dismayed at the closeness between the PM and Republican Mr Bush - and his failure to publicly back Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry. Why would these dumbasses want Blair to publicly proclaim support for their candidate? Don't these people have any kind of moral compass??? Sakes. |

| #8 From the American Heritage dictionary: Betrayal 1.) Commit treason against 2.) Be disloyal to 3.) Make known unintentionally 4.) Show, reveal 5.) Lead astray, deceive Clinton "feels the PM gave Bush respectable cover for the war and under-estimated his influence..." Any guesses what he is really thinking? With Clinton, you never know. You should always have a dictionary handy for the obscure meaning of "is". Now Hillary, she could teach him what betrayal means-his betrayal of her, and her betrayal of her own beliefs. |

| #7 Whut a bunch of arrongant asses, led by Klynton. Blair is a friend of the US, NOT just the individual currently in the White House. |

| #6 Dean shows how sophisticated and nuanced the Democrats are. When did Blair's job description become toady of the Democrat party and not Her Majesty's Prime Minister? And Clinton demonstates why he could never have fought this war even though he could have had the chance; everything comes down to politics for him. This is something that is not true of W or Tony. That is why both will go down in history with reputations that will ascend while Clinton's will decline.. Finally, Clinton sucks more oxygen out of the room for Kerry. This election may have to be called on account of asphyxiation. |

| #5 Well, this is the Mirror, but they probably do pick up on scuttlebutt like this. Clinton probably is sick that Blair likes Bush--although I heard Cherie was tacky! Surprise!--and has stood so firmly with Bush and the United States. Blair was the only world leader besides Arafish who was Bubba's big pal. Thank God Blair has a bigger vision for Britain and for his role as PM, emulating great PMs like Churchill, Thatcher and Disraeli whereas Clintoon was so selfish and awful a Prez that he can't even equal a Ulysses Grant, who at least was a good general. No, it's definitely a photo-finish between Slick Willy and Jimmuh Cartuh as to who was the worst. |

| #4 This is the Daily Mirror. British papers have recently developed a habit of making up interviews with politicians named Clinton. |

| #3 In that case, why'd he say anything? Because he's got a book out, that's why. Any and all news is good news for him. |

| #2 Clinton sings, "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to..." |

| #1 As I have always said, Blair is more like Lieberman than Clinton, they never have been soulmates of the left. |
