Blair picks a fight over foreign policy

Blair clearly sees that his slavish support for neoconservative foreign policy is the major threat to his “legacy” – he is in the process of picking a fight with large sections of the floor of the TUC Congress.

He has just argued that our troops are in Afghanistan and Iraq at the request of the governments of those countries. Since these are governments set up after the Western invasions I think that may not be too suprising.

Watching him speak I can only think of Steve Bell’s cartoon images – this man is delusional (and dangerously Islamophobic from what he is saying).
