Tony Blair tells of 'sorrow and regret' over Iraq - BBC News 

He will in this life or the other 🇮🇶

Not only that, but he was the sacrificial lamb. They put him up to put the blame on him, when in reality it was the entire Bush administration, along with the media who pushed the propaganda, and many others who were involved

Me too it made me rage and sorrow

He's going to hell mate.

@@williamhimmer5409 if someone started a war in your country and killed your family and millions of innocent people who are no different than me or you and destroyed half of your country killed thousands of children your children i think you will have a different opinion this guy while building bridges and helping banks he was destroying ours for a lie he is a war criminal and if this world had even small amount of justice this guy would have been hanging right now

Great fact

Yes....for sure...well said

3 world countries?? Plz name them

@@wrestlinginfodude2644 sad to hear some people using such propoganda terms

@Midorima Shintaro this wasn’t a “mistake”. It was completely deliberate and they new that the claims of WMD were lies

​@Midorima Shintaro are you kidding? if the UK and the US invade your country and thousands of civilians killed and millions displaced just because of accusations based on nothing and they apologize are you gonna take it?? did you think apologizing will give back everything they lost?

@Midorima Shintaro my mistakes don't involve me butchering countless people.

@Midorima Shintaro are you that easy to manipulate? Everyone can murder people then get a camera and apologize to the public to look good. So if someone kills your parents and apologized on camera you will forgive him? Wtf

over 2 millions civilians dead.but they're not blonde people with blue eyes so theres no outrage in the media.now ukraine got invaded, theres an outrage for the first 200 civilians died(some of them armed, yeah *non-terrorist* people defending their country pffft).MSM even went as far as cover up ukraine neo nazi problem.they have neo nazi militants who been killing civilians even before the russia invasion, neo nazi in parliament and armed forces official.2 days ago i just saw racist tweets by ukrainian armed forces official.this is real and well documented if you follow russia-ukraine geo politic since 2014.c14,azov publicly admit they are racist.stop using zelensky's jewishness as an excuse because he is just a puppet.

I don't care about Saddam because he pushed from UK us and die the hand of UK and us but one thing I care just for millions of women Children they dies and most of them don't have a home r leaning his own country all over the place outside of his home town

in Iraq 2.4mil poeple are dead

@@Abdullah-tu9mo damn I never knew it was this much

@@kiragalzu5134 this happened after the death of sadam not before

@@Abdullah-tu9mo I know I’m Iraqi myself

But he isn't acting. We went into Iraq to take out Saddam Hussein and we did that. He's been a MP since the early 90s, what evidence do you have that proves he's ever been acting? This man was serious the day he got into politics and is still serious to this day. It wasn't wrong to take out Saddam, he was a tyrant. The problem is that Iraq collapsed afterwards.

​@@jakel8627,Saddam was wrong,but usa and uk cross all limits in Iraq war

@@jakel8627ask your government to stay put and don’t ransack other countries.. I swear I’m tired of the British and the Americans..

⁠@@jakel8627 do you believe that it is the UK’s job to take out every tyrant in the world?

@@jakel8627 it was better to leave Saddam in power. It’s better to leave Gaddafi and Assad in power. All the west wanna do including Israel is want to destroy Islam and Islamic countries.

@Midorima Shintaro which the uk voted for and could’ve vetoed

@Midorima Shintaro so the solution for him invading Kuwait is to kill 1 million civilians wow ur so smart

@Midorima Shintaro who said that? Cos I didn’t

@Midorima Shintaro so you support killing 1 million children 👏🏽 says a lot about u

@Midorima Shintaro I never said that why are you imagining stuff😂😂are you talking to a ghost? You’re the one that wants to kill a million civilians so don’t try make stuff up about me to make yourself feel better

Mate I salute you.

We made money from destroying Iraq

As a person from the UK, I'm sorry

As a person from Australia, I am deeply sorry.

I also don't understand who benefits from invading iraq.These politicians and bankers don't send their sons to fight but middle class and poor working class.iraq was one and secular nation,a Christian was vice president and Saddam Hussein donated to chaldean churches.Now iraq is a theocracy with zero rights for minorities.same with Syria,if fighting extremist and maintaining secularism is a crime so be it.

I think Saddam and Gadaffi has resources and land areas the 'allies' wanted and were not playing ball. So a campaign of propaganda was started so the UK public overtime were made to hate these people they knew nothing about. It was illegal, human rights abuse and immoral.

The sanctions didn't hurt Saddam, they hurt the poor iraqi people, whom a lot of american grandmothers used to collect money for, especially hospitals who lacked money for medicine and treatment stuff. They cried when they learned that their president would attack Iraq and make the lives of the people still worse. Hundredthousands of innocent iraqi people died, and thousands of children were left fatherless. This is the worst war crime the West is guilty of (besides the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombs). It is good that Mr. Blair regrets, he is the first world leader to admit that the West is to blame for the colossal refugee problem we have and for the chaos in Iraq.

Blair was continually encouraging Bush to go through the UN. He only joined their invasion, he didn't instigate it.

When will you people get it through your thick skulls that no action, including the meddling that you still propose have any justification? Who the hell are you to judge Saddam Hussein, when he was a man of his sovereign environment? The Iraqi people have a right to their own national conversations or battles without any foreign meddling. In fact, Saddam’s rise to power is of its own a consequence of our meddling.

@@majortom6382did you gar when iraq brutally invaded iran ?

Narcissit comes ro mind !!.

I think you're right.

US and UK dont do no limits warfare like Russia.

👍

he won't, "every soul shall taste death".

@@SENPAI.Popaii no he will smell blood

Really my bro crocodile tears

As an Iraqi that migrated over to Canada after the war, seeking a better life, after the western countries completely destroyed my home country, backed by their Masonic/Illuminati New a world Order agenda that made everyone of you believe that the Third World countries are no good, and those ppl are worthless and their leaders should be eliminated cuz they got WMDs or whatever the case might be, and the fact that your ppl actually believe them, and forget about their own nasty history of slavery, nuking Japan and killing millions throughout history. If you think you see nightmares, and are mad for not being compensated for going to Basra, helping capture all these oil fields with a gun on you, don’t you think we’re not having worse nightmares than anyone else? I was only 11 when this took place, can you imagine how that affected my mind and personality when seeing dead bodies and ppl getting shot with my own eyes? I’m not blaming you, you were just doing your “job” and trynna get paid, but I really hope you and everyone else realizes how demonic your western governments are, and they’re in NO WHERE better than Saddam, or hitler. They’re WORSE. They do all that invasion/killing bullshit agenda of theirs “legally” and with a all the support they need from their own “UN”. It’s all an agenda buddy. I don’t trust no government. They drew the Iraqi borders, then kept placing puppet governments, until placing Saddam, then they took him out and installed a much better puppet government that would just hand out all the oil fields over to them. We shall all meet at the end of life and see what Jesus has to say about all this. May God bless you bro. Thanks for sharing your comment and sorry for the lengthy comment of mine.

Just imagine not being perfect in Arabic, or English. Cuz I literally left Iraq back when I was 11 and started school here when I was 12. I’m literally 50/50 in both languages. I got family all over the globe and all that was due to the invasion. Every family member of mine had to flee and seek refuge somewhere in the globe. Families are shattered all over the countries across the globe, not being perfect in both arabic or English. And so much more to say. This war has so many long term effects rather than short term effects. You tell me now who should be compensated, Iraqi victims or war veterans “invaders”. Thanks buddy

@@thesimonrock I can't imagine what the war has done to you and yours. I've never doubted the negative impact it had on your family and friends. We were lied to by Blair and his government and we believed we were there to liberate you from a tyrant. My nightmares are of the children we saw and the broken families.. my heart goes out to you and is filled with nothing but deep regret and sorrow. The guilt is real and I am truly sorry for my part I played in the conflict. I know its not enough but I hope you have time to understand and forgive me. Stay safe and find peace.

All those lies are actual today! Now the victim is Russia. The western hypocrisy has no limits.

@@madmanc_angling one of the things that sickens me when I look back is that Blair used fox hunting as a distraction. There’s no doubt in my mind. It worked a treat - we’re a nation of animal lovers and blood sports are an inflammatory issue. I remember it vividly because I lived in the country and worked in London. Country folk were up in arms, the London Underground was saturated with Labour posters of foxcubs. I recall a friend asking me ‘by the way, do you know what’s happening with the war?’ This was a government that employed smoke and mirrors in spades. Every time something negative happened with Blair, something else topped the headlines. Softhearted Blair said he found fox hunting ‘cruel and unnecessary’. Presumably he considered the slaughter of 2-300,000 innocent civilians and children in Iraq ‘compassionate and necessary’. As a Brit, I am so sorry too.

What makes it worse is that now this liar is now be chosen for a knighthood. Sorry but what on earth has he done to deserve a knighthood. He should be in jail for war crimes.

Daniel Clark Clark fuck off is a war killer he needs to go to jail

He was given permission

Apart from the Iraq war he was actually a good leader He brought the minimum wage and helped legalise gay marriage Just goes to show people Will only be remembered for the bad things they did

That's essentially what politicians are :)

And sing you a song.

@@Shadowking-oz5tb Who ?

He worked for the Queen

rammed up his ASS repeatably !!.

He deserves jail 😊

No he ran a country that they didn't like so he and the nation got fucked! in their eyes it is a simple case of; "well we tried soft power but he was just so bloody stubborn we had to resort to lies and mass murder" obviously a paraphrased summary of the above video and not a direct quote

@@stevereid4092 Check the Iraq before after invasion US same did with Lybia Now people selling own children for food in lybia or dying in sea

He wasn’t a terrorist he couldn’t stand terrorism

He ran a terrorist state which committed genocide against its own people, the Kurds. They are now in a much better situation thanks to the Saddam regime's removal.

@@dreamer2260 Iraq’s in a better situation u clearly have no knowledge on this. Iraq’s current situation is 10x worse than during the saddam regime

situation summed up beautifully!

Of course he should.

Pretty much every us President since the war except for Carter has killed people Not excusing what Blair did but if he should face war crime charges then so should all the presidents

i think he is actually acting pretty bad here. Obama would act amazing here

He's in the boy's club doen't matter if your blue or red . British politics stink !!.

nwo thats why

God doesn’t exist buddy

@سلايدر /slider lol absolute lol

Unfortunately

I think the more technology evolves the more people communicate through it, and when people are connected to each other directly instead of through propaganda sources we wont need false leaders. The internet is the best way to learn about our mistakes as a people. The comment section is the place where diverse people meet and discuss reality. So if we all stay connected to each other we can save this planet together :). WE LIVE UNITED OR DIE DIVIDED!

Things like 9/11 ?

And still he gets air time

@@50_Pence exactly. I doubt he’s experienced even a fraction as much as Thatcher. I also doubt it affects him on any level.

​​@@spellywelly there are many Iraqi people in UK. Did any Iraqi tried to kill him until now ? They have all the reasons to justify it.

I reckon Starmer and most of his Labour Party are beating him hands down right now...

Y'know, I bet you're right, classic bloody Hollywood

You strange and bitter people really are delusional.

@@dreamer2260 I'm bitter about all the deaths. Aren't you?

No he was 63 in this speech (67 now). Most 63 year olds have completely grey hair

What? Champaigne socialism is great while it's happening, not so great when it all comes crashing down.

+The Matrix 3D An interesting defence of Champaigne socialism. The usual defence is 'but but but it started in America'

Jeremy Corbyn tells us of the injustices in UK, housing, weeks of waiting for Dr.'s appointment, working faster & faster, retirement age up instead of the promise of lower retirement age & shorter working week if we joined EU. Blair didn't build houses etc. So what was Blair doing? Diverting UK assets into war after war, each worse than the last, each country handed to Scripture-ists who kill for submission to writings of Dark Age Mecca Clerics?

+Phil Dobson I'm not a Labour voter, but it seems strange to me Labour MP's want to get rid of Corbyn, as he seems more in touch with people than any Prime Minister we've had in a long time.

Corbyn policies are unrealistic there is no way he can win an election that's why the party doesn't want him . He wants free Tution for young people as much as I want it . It is simply not practical . This will mean paying higher taxes to fund for this, the university system is broken already loads of people graduate and can't finds jobs related to their degree. We need to fix the system first then talk about changing the fees. . Corbyn spent his whole life criticizing the Eu there are loads of videos of his statements, he voted against various European Union treaties.then he goes ahead and campaign for us to stay. He wants to reform it you can't reform the eu because the eu doesn't want to reform. Corbyn wants to take in more refugees. As tragic the whole thing is there are people in our country that are homeless. If can't house are own people then how he'll do we house a thousand more people coming in. It's not going work, why aren't the six rich Arab. Nations taking any refugees He is too left wing we don't need this as a country . I want a leader who can make their policies work . I am a centrist
