At a speech to the 2013 Presidential Conference hosted by Shimon Peres, head of the Israeli regime, Tony Blair condemned what he called the “predominant emotion in the West today…..to stay out of Syria; indeed to stay out of the region’s politics.”
Blair insisted, just as he once did back in 2002 and 2003 in a different context, that “as every day passes shows, the cost of staying out may be paid in a higher price later”.
The former British premier linked his call for urgent action against Syria to Iran, where he moaned: “We have to be prepared to be strong in defence of our values. It is why Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions and export of terrorism round the region are a threat. We must be determined to confront and overcome that threat. Those that truly hold the power in Tehran must know of our determination and feel its vigour. Of course any choice involving military action is fraught. No one wants it. But a nuclear armed Iran is the worst choice and we shouldn’t make it.”
These are not thoughts or analysis, because Blair does not think or analyse; he only ever utters militarist slogans. His pious insistence that ‘ no one wants’ military action is a lie, because the mindless and unrelenting promotion of war and violence is precisely what has earned this vacuous shill the wealth and prestige that he possesses, according to editor.
Blair may talk about preventing ‘catastrophic consequences’, but the dirty and disgusting game that is being played out in Syria now threatens to bring about the most catastrophic military confrontation in the history of the modern Middle East. It will not bring peace, but death, chaos and destruction on a scale that will dwarf previous ‘interventions’ in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, as it sucks in Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Iran, Turkey, and Israel.
Whenever the so-called Quartet’s ‘Peace Envoy’ makes any pronouncement on the great issues in the Middle East, you can always guarantee that the missile silos are being readied for action.
The West’s escalation of the war will not bring peace in Syria but death, chaos and destruction on a scale that will dwarf previous ‘interventions’ in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
