Tony Blair: Radical Islam, Iran threat

Former British PM: "We must be prepared to confront Iran"

AFP: Former prime minister Tony Blair warned on Sunday that the roots of radical Islam were far deeper than we think and said Al-Qaeda would have killed 300,000 on September 11, 2001 if they could. "This is actually more like the phenomenon of revolutionary communism," Blair said in an interview with ABC News, commenting on the reach of Islamic extremism. The former leader took a similarly hard line on Iran. Blair said he did not favour war with Iran but added: "I'm saying I think you cannot exclude it because the primary objective has got to be to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon." >>>

A hypocrite is a Groupie of a "Death to America", "Death to (Fill in the Blank" regime who lives in the West rather than among fellow Islamist hoodlums. Cheers.

In the West (unlike in your piece-of-garbage IRI regime), one is free to be a hypocrite and propagandize on behalf of an anti-Western, anti-Iranian terrorist regime. You are free to live in America (or elsewhere in the West) and support a regime that says "Death to America", burns the American flag, etc, etc. I am also free to call you a West-residing IRI Groupie. Cheers  :-)

and do you trust Brezinski's judgment,Mr. MOOSIRvaPiaz ?

by bushtheliberator on

 I don't ! Mr. ZB advocated the PARTITION of Iraq into 3 states,and gave comfort to the Surrender Monkeys when the war in Iraq was hanging in the balance>  His silly war hysteria story here is just another example of why you might better trust other analysts.

He has cancelled his so called book signing event due to rallies

by Mola Nasredeen on

held against him.

He's a war criminal who should be put on trial for being responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.

"Tony Blair said on Monday he had canceled a book-signing in London this week to mark the launch of his memoirs, over fears the event would be hit by protests.

Three people were arrested after eggs and shoes were thrown at Blair, 57, as he arrived to sign copies of "A Journey" at a bookshop in Dublin on Saturday and some of the 200 protesters clashed with police."

And this low life two faced whore has his own following on this website and it includes the Zioinist groupies who pop up when he's exposed for his crimes.

The way this guy...

by Midwesty on

Shamelessly pushing, I'm afraid he'll be the next PM again. You don't believe how shortsighted and with short term memory some westerners are!
It's like a lame thief comes to your house to rob you then he sues you the next day for not having an accessible house!
Just sheer shamelessness!

Must be doing something right

When not one, but several, West-residing IRI Groupies are obsessively sniffing up his nether regions on a daily basis trying to gather personal details on him, one knows that Fred must be doing something right. Cheers  :-)

You must have said something. You woke them up and they're crawling out, creating new accounts, attention! and starting the attack! 

They've become so predictable and boring these days. Although, not to be taken lightly.

by Sargord Pirouz on

Whatever Amir, it's always just me. It isn't a number of different writer types, stamping out two blog posts a day without a trace of meaningful personal detail. 

You're not that way. We may disagree. I may take issue with your lack of competency in argument, as well as your malignant, exile attitude, with all it's inherent weaknesses for all to see. But at least your writing can't be classified into different types, with all that that suggests.

Really weird, this "Fred" thing.

Mr Tony Blair,

What could one say about him or his comments but: What a Low life, Two faced Whore he is.

Isn't it ironic?

by AMIR1973 on

Isn't it ironic that someone who uses a number of different names depending on the website he is on ("Sargord Pirouz", "Mark Pyruz" or simply "Pirouz") is accusing others of having multiple identities and seeking to discover personal details regarding Fred and other individuals on this website? Needless to say, when a West-residing IRI supporter asks for such details, one has to be wary that they may be up to no good. The individuals whom they are targeting have every right to maintain their privacy, at their own discretion.

Islamist Palestinian crop-dusters

by Fred on

Rabid Islamists including the Islamist Palestinian crop-dusters need to look for an honest job. Their Islamist Rapist Republic sugar daddy will not be able to support their  parasitic  life for that much longer.  

Get a job and earn your living for a change, Iranians have repeatedly said they do not wish their money going to support Islamist parasites.

Isn't this "Fred" thing weird?

by Sargord Pirouz on

Mola, isn't this "Fred" thing weird? I've only started to classify the effort. I know of at least three types of writer, and have since assigned letters to two, now.

Even if JJ doesn't wish to "out" this effort, he would probably be interested in performing a DNS lookup. After all, he wouldn't tolerate a CENTCOM effort, why tolerate an organized Hasbara presence?

Facilitating this classification work is the fact that the effort is continuous and predictable. There are generally two blog posts a day, every day, with incidental commenting.

More on this queer presence of "Fred" later. 


Mola Nasredeen

Jenabe Sargord,

by Mola Nasredeen on

You're right on the money about Fred INC aka Fred CO. Your observation is correct, there are more than one "Fred" who write under this brand name. They have different styles of writing in English and Persian/Farsi. Fred INC is probably related to Hasbara (//www.middle-east-info.org/take/wujshasbara.pdf) promoting Israel on this website. 


MOOSIRvaPIAZ

Zbigniew Brzezinski back in 2007 said the following:

by MOOSIRvaPIAZ on

 


A mythical historical narrative to justify the case for such a protracted and potentially expanding war is already being articulated. Initially justified by false claims about WMD’s in Iraq, the war is now being redefined as the “decisive ideological struggle” of our time, reminiscent of the earlier collisions with Nazism and Stalinism. In that context, Islamist extremism and al Qaeda are presented as the equivalents of the threat posed by Nazi Germany and then Soviet Russia, and 9/11 as the equivalent of the Pearl Harbor attack which precipitated America’s involvement in World War II. - Zbigniew Brzezinski

 

He also says this about Iran:

 

If the United States continues to be bogged down in a protracted bloody involvement in Iraq, the final destination on this downhill track is likely to be a head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam at large. A plausible scenario for a military collision with Iran involves Iraqi failure to meet the benchmarks; followed by accusations of Iranian responsibility for the failure; then by some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the U.S. blamed on Iran; culminating in a “defensive” U.S. military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

Perhaps an airtight cork for Fred will be much more appropriate

by Bavafa on

As the suggestion to get help from a war criminal that is of the same caliber and magnitude of Netanyahu, Sharon, GWB, Saddam and as blood thirsty as Khamenie himself can not and should not help Iranian people.

This puddle along with his master GWB are responsible for the loss of more innocent lives then Netanyahu, Sharon, and Ben Laden all combined together.

"Fred" writing "Type A"

I'm starting to categorize the different types of writing put out by this "Fred." So far, I think I detect 3 types. We'll call this type, with its subpar written English, "Type A."

Keep singing the same tune Fred

by MOOSIRvaPIAZ on

Nothing changes the fact that airtight sanctions are immoral and target ordinary iranians. you can sugar coat it however you like. Airtight sanctions will LEAD to war, as any expert would tell you that. 


Fred

Airtight

by Fred on

While the rabid messianic Islamist Rapist Republic with avowed mission to “manage the world” continues with its aquisition of weaponized nuke, one cannot expect the sane world to sit ideally by doing nothing.

If with the help of the civilized world lead by Democracy Central, DC, Iranians do not overthrow their Islamist Rapist oppressors, “reformist” and all, others will do it their own destructive way.

Blair being out of office can afford to innunciate this fact of life that others can't do so bluntly.

Airtight sanctions with material help from DC. will avoid the war Islamist Rapists are imposing on all.

Do not know what to think of Wests politics?

by choghok on

I do not understand how to think of it. UK and USA decides to go to war and defeat the Talibans and Alqaeda as a security measurements for themselves. Then they fail on that so they come up with the excuses like we want to protect the Afghans, well if you do want to protect the Afghans why do you get out of Afghanistan before Talibans are uprooted from there?

The same thing with Iraq.

Another thing Mr Blair, it is not Taliban that kill or stone Afghan people for having relations, it is the Afghan people who do that. You can not save Afghans from Afghans, only Afghans can do that.
