Ryan just isn't up to the calibre needed to interview Tony Blair

[EveryTongueShallTell]

I feel sorry for this man, he suffers the disadvantage of being alive.

[TheRAGEofMellownDark]

Best PM we ever had!

"undr Saddam" = "under UN sanctions" children needlessly died.

Bush n Blair found to be war criminals in Indonesian court, search it.

Peace for Peace, not War for Peace.

@abz2000123 'child mortality?

from whose sanctions?'

The UN's - which, we kept being told, was what Bush and Blair should have gone through.

So no war AND no sanctions? In other words, give Saddam all he wanted.

Saddam was overthrown in a matter of weeks - the subsequent decision to make Iraq ungovernable was made, not by the Iraqi people, but the so-called 'insurgents' who claimed to represent them.

@DAMNAPE1 Very wealthy dog! Well rewarded by his masters. Butcher Blair Forced out of office in the UK for lying to the people about" weapons of mass destruction " Now no less than a PEACE ENVOY for the middle-east .What next? A Nobel prize, he will be in the illustrious company of sinister H.Kissinger who didn't bother telling the American people about the heavy bombing of a neutral country ,Cambodia . Leaving genocidal hatred amongst its population. DOES IRAQ COME TO MIND???

I have only seen the first page of comments on this video, and it appalls me that people are still referring to Tony Blair as a war criminal and that the Iraqis "chose" their way of life under the tyrant Saddam Hussein. Such opinions are based upon pure ignorance, plain and simple.  I, for one, am happy that yet another tyrant was taken down and had to pay for his crimes; those of you who wish to paint Misters Blair and Bush as "imperialists" need to review the facts. Not the propoganda.

[DAMNAPE1]

You're a mongrel Blair...you're up your own arse!! !!!!!

[tomaluta]

@kevj247 yes I will rather prefer Saddam, Gaddafi to western interrest, bomb who make women have children born with learning disability ..Fallujah,,,just because western press do not wanna say it that we dont know..

[oxonvids]

I voted for him three times, and I would do it again, but has he ever said a sentence which hasn't contained the words 'look, listen, let me finish'.

[grimblebrumble17889]

@kevj247 thats an Iraqi decision not Blairs.

[22HPW]

Lies...It it were about the Iraqi people he would not have carpet bombed the cities,,,the first thing they secured when invading were the oil fields. This was the order of the puppet masters above Blair and Bush carried out their dirty work. Same thing Afghanistan. Also why lie about the WMD only to have an excuse to carry out this agenda...no sorry Tony you are the same as Thatcher....a Criminal
