  • Blair: Bombing Iraq Better. Again
    Blair: Bombing Iraq Better. Again By David Cromwell and David Edwards Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, June 16, 2014 Theme: Media Disinformation, US NATO Media Lens War Agenda In-depth Report: IRAQ REPORT Over the weekend, the British media was awash with the blood-splattered Tony Blair’s self- serving attempts to justify the illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003. The coverage was sparked by a new essay in which Blair claimed that the chaos in Iraq was the ‘predictable and malign effect’ of the West having ‘watched Syria descend into the abyss’ without bombing Assad. Blair advocated yet more Western violence, more bombing: ‘On the immediate challenge President Obama is right to put all options on the table in respect of Iraq, including military strikes on the extremists…’ Par for the course, the liberal wing of the corporate media, notably the Guardian and BBC News, led with Blair’s sophistry. (See image, courtesy of News Unspun). Blair told Andrew Marr on BBC1 that: ‘washing our hands of the current problem would not make it go away’. The choice of phrase is telling. The image of Blair attempting to wash away the blood of one million Iraqis is indelible. The Guardian’s editors performed painful contortions to present an illusion of reasoned analysis, declaring that Blair’s essay was both ‘thoughtful’ and ‘wrong-headed’. Robert Fisk’s response to Blair was rather different: ‘How do they get away with these lies?’ In the Guardian editorial, titled ‘a case of blame and shame’, the key phrase was: ‘If there has to be a hierarchy of blame for Iraq, however, it must surely begin with Saddam.’ Of course, ‘surely’! But only if the Guardian’s editors feel compelled to keep selling one core ideological message to its audience.
