Hilary Clinton is nothing more than a populist like Tony Blair, whiles in my opinion the war in Iraq is wrong thanks to Tony Blair “dossier”. I like to add forced upon the U.K. intelligence community at a policy level rather than intelligence dictating policy, it had created more terrorist to deal with, Saddam was nothing more than a Middle Eastern Fidel Castro figurehead. It would appear with hindsight Saddam Hench men been doing a better job at dealing with dissent within Iraqi than we can ever do. We are just too liberal and too media aware to do anything effectively within Iraqi. We were in fact warned of this prior to the war and history would dictate during the British/French Empire in the Middle East. But hey let ignore the facts and go to war.

The biggest problem is that Tony Blair had self-inflated opinion of himself and trapped politically with the Yugoslavia war when we was force to beg for help from the U.S. (The old U.S.S.R. had only had to knock on the door of NATO and it would had collapse!) I believe Hilary Husband Bill Clinton had asked that Tony Blair would return a favour in return for supplying troops etc. Tony Blair was still in power so when the new U.S. President George W. Bush came to power, Tony Blair was reminded of this fact and with a strange sense of destiny and fulfilment he agreed with Bush. To Tony credit and (He gets little from me) he did listen to his civil servant for once and when the original plans were announced. As they say in Britain civil servants “drop their kittens” and vastly watered down the original Japanese style invasion plans to few selected places.

Whiles I can understand why the American is wishing for a withdrawal of their troops and I can’t blame them. It would create within Iraq a vacuum as many of the so called “Iraqi” troops are sided with either “Sunni or Shia” you can expect a civil war to break out pretty quickly in Iraq as the Sunni seek to take over as much of Iraq as they can and take on the “U.S. own” oil wells in the south. Which we will see the return of troops back into Iraq to sort this mess out.

Interestingly the Bush family made their money by selling oil during to Second World War to the U.S. government. So you could peculate was the war in the Middle East for oil or was it to stop terrorist using it as a breeding site? Or like wise in comparison was America intervention in the Second World War was to stop Japan and Nazis Imperialism or was it to destroy the British, French and Dutch Economic Empire? Nothing is what it seems.

And as for Tony Blair maybe it wouldn’t hurt if and when he reads intelligences reports in the future and that he bears in mind intelligence reports are base upon a degree of Probability and not on Certainty. Maybe next time he won’t be so trigger happily.

So no I don’t support Hilary Clinton, you are going to have to make the best of the mess that has been created if it means more British and American troops getting killed. The Iraqi government has not got the power or the support it needs to control the country.

Rant Over :)
