Tony Blair calls for regime change in Iran and Syria as he blames Tehran for prolonging the conflict in Iraq after the 2003 invasion.

In an interview to mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the former prime minister warns that the Middle East would be "very, very badly" destabilised if Iran acquired nuclear weapons.

Yes, he’s late.
He wouldn’t back Pres. Bush in 2003 when the timing was right to do it.

Why didn’t he take this position when he was PM and could do something about it?

Tony quit leading for behind Sir. Did you not get the memo from Obama. Who do you think you are Tony, Bibi or something. Careful Tony you could take the title leader of the free world from Bibi.

I’m sure both leaders will step down the minute they hear of Blair’s wish.

Iran is not worth one drop of American blood.

Haven’t we sacrificed enough of our young in that Middle East cess pool. Perhaps we think modern technology will spare us the imperial disasters which befell the Roman Empire and Great Britan. Has war become our biggest export?

Are conservatives now to embrace the globalist agenda?

Yup. It’s a bad idea to strafe demonstrators with automatic small arms. Who’d a thunk. Let’s have demoncracy now.
