Blair attacks Iran as Basra deaths overshadow the hostages' return

[cal04]

It was meant to be a day to celebrate the homecoming of the hostages from Iran. "Rejoice" said Tony Blair. But then came the dark shadow of Iraq, four British soldiers - two of them women - killed and another severely wounded in a roadside ambush in Basra.

The attack, in which a Kuwaiti interpreter was also killed, shattered whatever hopes had emerged of better relations with Iran following the release of the British prisoners.

The Prime Minister directly linked the Tehran regime to killings of British soldiers in Iraq, accusing it of "backing, financing, arming terrorism".

Senior UK military officers and diplomats have for months accused Iran of supplying Shia insurgents in Iraq with sophisticated explosive devices which have been used to kill and maim British and American soldiers. The Iranians have denied the claims and, in turn, accused "British agents" of carrying out bombings on its territory.

we think we have it bad with some of the DLC Dems..but a DLC Dem looks like a Commie compared to Blair...and he is supposedly their "Left Wing". I cannot believe the Lbour Party has allowed him to stick around so long...there must be A LOT of corruption in their party.
