Tony Blair and Iraq - The Iraq War

Mail on Sunday: Reports " A bombshell White House memo has revealed for the first time details of the ‘deal in blood’ forged by Tony Blair and George Bush over the Iraq War.

The sensational leak shows that Blair had given an unqualified pledge to sign up to the conflict a year before the invasion started.

It flies in the face of the Prime Minister’s public claims at the time that he was seeking a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

He told voters: ‘We’re not proposing military action’ – in direct contrast to what the secret email now reveals.  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK press will never forgive Tony Blair for Iraq, its the one way to get at him, its like Nixon with Watergate, the good parts of the era's are overlooked for some scandal, as with Watergate  the press attacks on Blair are unfair, the perceived threats from Iraq were real, the US and UK after 9/11 had to act, of course if the Iraqi Regime had been 100% honest there would have been no reason for the War, as the regime played Russian Roulette it forgot that there was a bullet in the gun, their half truths lead to the War.   The decision to go to war was the right one given the information at the time, so this blog still supports Blair and the War. 

Doctor Who Review - The Girl Who Died

Doctor Who News: Reports " 4.85 million viewers watched Doctor Who: The Girl Who Died, according to unofficial overnight viewing figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was a cracking episode, the crew of the Tardis were joined by Maisie Williams who played Ashildr, so the Doctor had to help some defenceless Vikings, it was fun seeing the Doctor get his " Troops " ready for action, it had fun elements, but the most important part was the Doctor playing God, lets just say that Ashildr needed some help at the end, one would have thought Doctor would have learned from Captain Jack, but no, Donna words came back to him, about saving people. thus the reason for the Doctor's new face.  This is a two parter, so make sure you watch this show before next week.   The Good Doctor has made rod for his own back.   Those pesky Viking always need saving.
