Allies, After All?

Thanks for your reply. Except that Blair's track record -- actions, that is -- gives the lie to his grandiose nineteenth century, Churchillian rhetoric and causes me to doubt his sincerity and/or trustworthiness, we are in complete agreement.

I have visited the UK many times and thirty-odd years ago lived there for a couple of years -- and loved it.

But its 20th-century decline was real and now that Blair is destroying its institutions and stripping away its sovereignty at the same time it is being so thoroughly colonized by rapidly-reproducing and unassimilable third world savages, its destruction as the home of a recognisable culture and its eventual loss to the Civilized World seems assured.

While I may gush a bit over Blair's general conduct since 9-11, I agree he's
a suspect fellow.
It will be interesting to see, maybe a few more years down the road,
who is the REAL Tony Blair.

[Brian Allen]

I believe Blair's apalling track record of appeasement vis-a-vis the obscene criminal gang that grandiosely self-styles itself the "i r a," all of whose whose murderers he has turned out of prison without either that criminal gang and its frontsmen, Adams and the like, having delivered on a single undertaking, shows him in all of his colors.

If that is not enough, Blair's willful and obsessive destruction of the very institutions that contributed to making the UK the Nation it used to be and whose loss has reduced it to its present sorry socialist state is a further illustration of the awful Evil of which he is but a manifestation.

As is the sinister KKKli'tonesque manner [Most would recognise the fundamental dishonesty involved and call him a liar!] in which he verbally disguises his totalitarian ambitions, aims and goals, which his action quite clearly indicate include, despite all of his lies to the contrary, the UK's abject subjagation to the Brussells based EUropean Soviet -- and entry into the Euro Block.

And then there is his charter membership with Herr KKKli'toon and assorted failed EUROnal totalitarians of the Neo-Axis/NATO alliance, by means of which that sorry gang picked up with Hitler's former islamanazi allies, where he and they had left off fifty-odd years earlier -- and murderously attacked Christian Serbia.

Etceteras. Etceteras.

I contend that by his actions this fellow is clearly on display and what can be seen of him is ugly beyond belief!

<< Blair is set on the path to war and the leftist/liberal contingent will have to go along with him once he has put forward his case. >>

Of course.

One of the advantages [Disadvantage FRom an American perspective] of the UK's parliamentary system is that for the period of his term in office, the prime minister [Witness Canada's execrable Trudeau and his every bit as bloody awful successor, Cretin] is to all intents and purposes an elected dictator.

And Gemany just so happens to be a hotbed of terrorists activity. Interesting!

Where's the pic of Josep Pique?

[pepsionice]

As they say, it ain't over till the Fat Lady sings. Stoiber has approximately two weeks left in this episode and the German public is slowly beginning to grasp the entire issue. It helps to have two or three of the national magazines weigh in and explain exactly what is going on in Iraq. Since Schroder's little episode questioning the fitness of Stoiber...a lot of Germans have viewed that as going too far. Schroder likely lost 3 percent of his supporters overnight just because of some careless words like that. The numbers by Tuesday may indicate the election is now a lot closer than Schroder thinks and that he really screwed up. And he can't really admit he was wrong on the Iraq issue...it just makes him look even worse.

Or shall we have the 50 states of the US each have a vote?

Why not? There is a precedent: the USSR, Ukraine, and Belorussia all had votes in the UN when the latter two were parts of the former.

[Neophyte]

...that "stupid, unsophisticated cowboy" told the U.N. off great.

It was for the first time in many years that somebody spoke to the UN brats as to adults. There were to many ritualistic "no-no"s in that great international circus, the most important of which was not to call things by their real names. But Mr W didn't hesitate to scold them allright and to remind them that after all they're responsible for what they do (or don't do).

For me, the main contradiction in the UN is that a huge bunch of clerks, i.e. non-elected bureaucrats, pretend to be a world parliament at least in respect of procedures - majority voting etc.

Considering that the majority of the buffoons are diaper heads... the ass-kicking is the best approach.

Now, tell us what you really think. :-)

-------- SOCIAL DEMOCRAT COCKTAIL PARTY POLITICS ---------

Helen Clark is now among the world’s leading critics of President Bush’s call for action against Iraq. She even questions the legality of UN resolutions on Iraq, saying Saddam has been in defiance so long, the resolutions have lapsed. New Zealand is one of the few countries that claims there’s no evidence Saddam is seeking weapons of mass destruction.

What possible foreign policy objective does Clark have in defending Saddam? The cost to New Zealand will be high. America’s doctrine is clear – “those who are not for us, are against us”.

New Zealand can forget about not only a free trade agreement with the US but also the traditional support we’ve had from America on a range of issues. We are now aligning ourselves with the foreign policy of France and Germany. When has Germany ever defended New Zealand, or France our right to trade?

So what is Clark trying to achieve? Leadership of the European Social Democrat Forum. The European Social Democrat (ie Labour) parties have an international organisation and Clark has attended annually for most of the last 20 years. Last year she was so keen to go, expecting to be feted as a socialist woman PM, that she flew to Europe even after the planes had hit the twin towers. (While she was in the air, the conference was cancelled.)

Clark wants to go again this year, for her triumphant cocktail party. What better way to be praised by Lefties than publicly leading the opposition to Bush’s proposed action in Iraq?

So why did New Zealand send SAS troops to Afghanistan? Labour polled public opinion, and had an election to win. A re-elected Helen Clark now feels able to display her true anti-American views.

[Brian Allen]

New Zealand's People will lead the fearsome and loathesome Clark and "her" ilk.

Never the other way around!

Witness: The SAS DID GO to Afghanistan -- and unlike the UK's headquarters' clean-up crews -- were, along with the Australians, welcomed into the scrap by The United States of America's Armed Forces! [Which knows quality when it meets it!]

[shaggy eel]

,,, thanx for that Brian.
