BRANSON: MY PLOT TO STOP IRAQ WAR (Nelson Mandela Rescue Mission)

Daily Mirror (U.K.) ^ | 18 2004 | Richard Smith

[Incandesia]

"The Elders"??
Pretentious Bastards. I wonder who they'll get to design their flowing robes and diadems?

[Mister Baredog]

I seriesly doubt that Saddam sitting in some posh santuary with $billions would be content not to make major mischief, no thanks, the trial somehow seems much more appropriate, IMNSHO.

[dAnconia]

"Kofi Annan was initially cautious about the idea and was worried Mandela would be taken hostage by Saddam. "


What? I thought Kofi was sure of Saddam's innocence.
Why would he think that!?

[mhx]

Where do I sign up? I want to be one of the Elders.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Somebody needs to send this Branson twit a copy of Laura Ingraham's 'Shut Up And Sing' part II: Just Shut Up and Sell Music and Plane Tickets.

This do-gooder is blaming us for interfering with his Jimmy Carteresqe private escapade that would have put him in a glowing position to defeat Tony Blair next year.....

He needs to read "Failure of a Mission" by his fellow Brit Neville Chamberlain. And then he needs to get out of politics. But he won't.

I say we Abstain from buying anything Virgin!

[COEXERJ145]

Branson needs to stick to what he does best, running Virgin Atlantic and spending millions in publicity stunts.

Malarkey and turkey droppings. Just more talk about knowing the future. Sadaam is no longer in power and the Islamofascists are getting their tails corkscrewed. Now thats a future I can live with.

Who was it that said, "hydrogen and stupidity are the two most abundant elements in the universe?"

This is what happens when you take religion out of society. Something must come to fill the void. Unfortunately in THIS country, it's become judges. My Dad used to call the Supreme Court the "New High Priests." Wow. This is incredible. Keep reading it over and over.

[GSlob]

"You shouldn't have to maim or kill 200,000 people to get rid of one individual."
If one tries to get rid of THE WAY OF LIFE, as personified and symbolized by one individual, then 200,000 might be woefully inadequate.

This do-gooder is blaming us for interfering with his.....position to defeat Tony Blair next year

There is always a motive to their madness, isn't there? This arrogant bastard won't stop at No.10 Downing St., Sir Richard Branson wants to be "Dick, the Emperor of Europe".

[gridlock]

If Saddam had flown, he would have left the structure of his oppressive Baathist regime in place. We are having a hard enough time dealing with the remnants after they have been crushed.

With Saddam removed, it would have been "New Tyrant, just like the Old Tyrant", only with closer ties to Syria and able to renege on former commitments.

[Uri’el-2012]

Nelson Mandela is a self proclaimed Marxist.

 

Richard Branson is either a fellow Marxist

or another useful idiot in support of

International Marxism.

[Finalapproach29er]

It's, potentially, against the law.

These seditious, billionare bastards. Government needs to show them who's in charge. IMO

[God luvs America]

Branson said: "Mandela wanted us to get Kofi Annan's blessing, which we got."

Shows the ineptitude of the UN when they must rely on a rich business man and political prisoner to do their job. Utterly pathetic!

[coffee260]

What do you know? No America bashing. I was amazed to read the whole column and not find out that America "The Great Satan" wasn't blamed.

[William of Orange]

There is always a motive to their madness, isn't there? This arrogant bastard won't stop at No.10 Downing St., Sir Richard Branson wants to be "Dick, the Emperor of Europe".

well before he becomes that, I will do an "Oswald" on him and yell at camera's that I'm just a "patsy"... Note that I oppose unnecessary violence.

[blackie]

He's a useful idiot ~ Bump!

[lolhelp]

Need to put all three of them on a plane together and then shoot it down!!
