Former British PM Tony Blair Defends War in Iraq, Lack of WMD’s and Removal of Sadam Hussein … “I would still have thought it right to remove him”

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair defends the war in Iraq and the ousting of Saddam Hussein, even with out the presence of WMD’s, weapons of mass destruction.

“I would still have thought it right to remove him.”

Tony Blair, hardly a conservative, defended the justification of the removal of Saddam Hussein even without the finding of WMD’s. One would think that the removal of a tyrant, rape rooms, and a future of of his two sons ruling the country would be a positive for the people and woman of Iraq.

If you asked the people of Iraq, do you think the majority of them would say they are better off without Saddam? Face it, in the end … GWB and Blair were right.

Reporting from London – Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has said he would have found a justification for invading Iraq even without the now-discredited evidence that Saddam Hussein was trying to produce weapons of mass destruction.

“I would still have thought it right to remove him. I mean, obviously you would have had to use and deploy different arguments about the nature of the threat,” Blair told the BBC in an interview to be broadcast this morning.

It was a startling admission from the onetime British leader, who was President Bush’s staunchest ally in the decision to invade Iraq in 2003.

Blair’s comments were immediately denounced by critics who accused him of using false pretenses to drag Britain into an unpopular war that has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of allied troops and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

Speaking to broadcaster Fern Britton, Blair insisted that ousting Hussein had improved the situation in Iraq by laying the foundation for a more democratic country. He described the upcoming Iraqi elections as “probably the single most significant thing that’s happened to that region for many years.”

American Buyers Remorse: 43% of Voters Say they Would Reelect Barack Obama in 2012

Hope & Change: Barack Obama, here is some job approval polling you can believe in …

You’ve come a long way baby in such a short period of time. Barack Obama won the 2008 Presidential election over John McCain by a 53% to 46% margin. Flash forward to less than one year into Obama’s presidency and in a recent poll only 43% stated that they would reelect The One in 2012. Obama’s actual job approval rating has also fallen to 49%.

It would appear that Obama’s policies and the handling of the economy, health care and Iran have come home to roost as his popularity no longer rules the day.

In what may be the ultimate job rating, 43 percent of voters say that they would vote to re-elect President Obama if the 2012 election were held today, down from 52 percent six months ago, from April 22-23, 2009.

Obama’s job approval rating comes in at 49 percent this week. That’s down just one percentage point from late September, but it marks a new low approval for the president — and the first time the Fox News poll has measured his approval below 50 percent.

Can you say voters buyers remorse! This is not only bad news for Obama, it’s bad news for all Democrat candidates running in elections in 2009 and the midterms in 2010.

Art Imitating Life … Obama’s Politics of Maybe, On Second Thought Maybe Yes, Maybe No

Rule #1 for being the President of the United States … The last thing in the world any voter should want, no matter what party they are from is an indecisive President.

As Michelle Malkin states, “if Barack Obama’s lack of authority and certitude weren’t costing so many lives, this would be comical”. Maybe? This is exactly the type of mentality that is needed when dealing with terrorism, the Iran nuclear threat and the war in Iraq & Afghanistan.

Barack Obama and the politics of maybe, wait a minute and on second thought. GOOD GRIEF!!!

A picture truly is worth a thousand words. The below piece of art is just some of the many one’s that “The One” has picked out for the White House. This one below is entitled “I think I’ll … ” by California artist Ed Ruscha.

Haggling and gambling with your child’s life? Talking about taking a true gamble in life, literally.

By the third day of negotiating with his son’s kidnappers, Rasul Amoore had sold his car, withdrawn his bank savings and borrowed money from his siblings and friends to raise funds for the six-year-old’s release.

Kenny Rogers once sang the following in the song ‘The Gambler”. However, I am sure he only met with cards, not your child’s life. Luckily, this story had a happy ending.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

Now evry gambler knows that the secret to survivin
Is knowin what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
cause evry hands a winner and evry hands a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

SNL Rips Barack Obama for not Being a Socialist, But for Being a Do Nothing President … A Record of NOTHING!

Looking at the List of Obama accomplishments, SNL sees just two … JACK and SQUAT!

Has SNL finally understands what makes humor funny when it comes to the Liberals messiah? The answer is a truth. For months we have said that if you want humor as pertains to Barack Obama you only need look at the facts and the truth of his administration. Nothing mean, just the truth.

SNL makes mock of Barack Obama’s Presidential election and his mandate of “Change you can Believe In.” SNL says Obama is not a Socialist … he is instead a do nothing President.

There are those on the right that think that Barack Obama is changing America into the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany. Because when you actually look at his recored, it is very clear what he has done so far and that is … NOTHING!

Almost one year and nothing to show for it as SNL provides a check list of Obama campaign promises:

• On his first day in office Obama promised he would close GITMO – NO
• I said we would be out of Iraq – NO
• I said there would be improvements in the War in Afghanistan – NO, it’s actually worse.
• Healthcare reform – HELL NO
• Tried to bring the Olympics to Chicago in 2016 – NO

The SNL skit also goes on to say that I [Barack Obama] do not understand why the Right is so riled up, imagine how the Left feels? I am sure that the Left would have thought that Obama would have addressed one of the following things by now. All are NO’s.

• Global Warming
• Immigration Reform
• Gays in the Military
• Limits of Executive Powers
• Torture Prosecutions

However, Obama does have a couple of accomplishment … the cash for clunkers program stimulated the economy. Unfortunately it was the economy of Japan. Obama killed a fly on TV. Obama also brought a white police officer and a black professor together for a beer, who else could do that? Ok, Oprah, but no one else!

It’s pretty bad when the liberal bastion of comedy that all but refused to poke fun of Obama because they said in the past, nothing he does is humorous, finally does.

However, the truth of the matter is that Barack Obama might have actually accomplished many of the above socialist changes to the United States had it not been for the voice and the opposition of the Tea Party movement and “WE THE PEOPLE”.
