[True_Blue]

LONDON (AP) Prime Minister Tony Blair appealed for British Muslim voters not to withdraw their support for his party in the wake of the Iraq war, according to an interview published Tuesday.

With a national election expected in early May, Blair used told the Muslim News he hoped that anger over the invasion of Iraq would not stop Muslim voters from backing his governing Labour Party at the polls.

Blair said he had given up trying to win over people who were fundamentally opposed to the war. He said terrorists, not coalition forces, were responsible for deaths in Iraq.

Blair also insisted his government had no plans for a military invasion of Iran.

1. Blair is starting to sound...

... more and more like Bush, day by day.

Did Blair manage to forget all his British history, or just the part about colonialism?

2. I can't believe

that Blair can go out in public and say these things with a straight face! And without blushing!

"he hoped that anger over the invasion of Iraq would not stop Muslim voters from backing his governing Labour Party at the polls"

Oh goodness me, no Tony. How silly. My place of origin being trashed for no reason means nothing at all.

:puke:

3. I say Bush is a disease that more and more world leaders will

realize is fatal.
