Despite what all has happened in Iraq, how can Tony Blair continue to expect the people to believe him?

Because All these people involved with the Bush Bunch,Truly think we will believe them.We have to ,they think,because in thier own minds they know they are right.

President Bush is unlikely to declare victory outright: it would be an open invitation for extremists to perpetrate some outrage to prove him wrong. What he may well do is make a Treaty with the government he has set up in Iraq so that the United States and allied troops become "advisors" (or some such status), and he is also likely to make a show of reducing troop numbers. Rather than saying he has won Bush will then point to his successes, as he will claim them, in Iraq.

He didn't fool all of us, but, yes, as a country, we were duped by the great liar.\n\n\nAs you can see from a number of these answers, he's still fooling people.  It is amazing there is anybody left that still links 9/11 and Iraq.

Because they believe his lies and cling onto his every word and empty promises. He is just evil and greedy and will do everything in his power to get what he want's even if it means killing his own people or the innocent people of Iraq.

As far as I can tell,most people are fed up with him and his bunch of cronies,personally I feel it's time for him to go.He hasn't been very consistent(Charles Clarke is the best man for the job,2 days later,he's the first to be sacked!),he has lost the trust of the country over the whole Iraq fiasco and now his cabinet seems to be in meltdown,time to admit defeat and leave while he still can,before he's pushed.

Well the Repubs hope that ths will help them win the elections. That is why they pressured the Iraqis to move up the verdict date to 2 days before the elections. Hoping a November surprise would help them turn the tide.

What makes you think this? What is the evidence of his being poor at organisation? Why would you you want him to run a piss up in a country? It might be entertaining for a while, but it wouldn't sustain the business of State. \n\nIf you ask considered questions you'll get considered responses. For some sort of answer to your present question try this:\n\nIs the country worse off than it was in 1997? If so how? \n\nIs Blair an improvement on John Major? If not, why not?\n\nHow is the economy doing under Labour relative to a similar number of years of economic management under the Tories? Better or worse? I think you already know the answer.\n\nIs employment up or down since the last Tory Government? \n\nIs crime up or down since the last Tory Government?\n\nAre NHS waiting lists longer under Labour's management?\n\nBlair is slippery and slick. He's a survivor and the consummate politician. But underneath all that there is a genuine conviction politician, concerned about the welfare and wellbeing of the people of UK and around the World. \n\nBlair got it seriously wrong over Iraq and this sadly will be his legacy. The good stuff will be forgotten under the mess of the unjust and improper British invasion of a sovereighn country on the most dubious of grounds. That is the issue about Blair.

who stated that quote, hopefully it was from "fake news source". i couldn't imagine anyone seriously saying that. maybe the fact that the Iraqi government isn't doing anything yet could apply? that's about it.

While i'm sure Mr. Bush has indeed had conversations with countless people who are considered experts on the Iraqi situation. He has failed to act on any advice that would alleiveate tensions in the region. The situation has now become so bad that the solution will probally cost many more american and british lives there. Good question.

It's a media scam designed to give people faith in the Iraqi people's ability to police themselves.

Even before the invasion, the consensus among Middle East experts (and, in fact, anyone with knowledge of the region) was that removing Hussein from power would result in a civil war. It was inevitable regardless of the cause (natural or by bullet). The fact the Bush was ignorant of the internal dynamics of Iraq and too intellectually lazy to care (even though is own father’s book ‘A World Transformed’ [1998] correctly described the situation) may partially explain their continuing denial of the obvious. Nevertheless, a civil war is what it is, regardless of what anyone calls it.\n\nTo answer your question, no they should not. However, facing reality and being truthful are not characteristics of this particular administration. In the end it really does not matter because no one in the world believes, or takes seriously, anything Bush or his mouthpieces say.

This war came to a climax last month. With the change of power in the elections and Tony Blair's resignation, the support for the President and the war has fizzled. In Britain, the people have been opposed to the effort since its inception which lead to low troop commitment. They are not worried about "perception of being weak" as America is. The only thing left for America is to figure a way out without looking too bad.

Bush and Blair are not directly responsible for all the people dead in Iraq. Yes they did order the troops in but because thousands of people are shooting and trying to kill our soldiers all we can do is fight back.

We havent heard much because nothing much is happening.  Saddam has no real defense, and he's still yelling about the court not having the autority to try him,  yada yada.  \n\nI hope deh fry da sucka

It doesn't.  President Bush just claims it does, to get a reason to get suspicious about Iraqis and Arabs.  Any wrong word, even though it's a free country, the president will get suspicious.  And, there's no way of knowing if the system will be abused, the president has already lied to us enough.

My husband works in Iraq as a private contractor and has told me first hand....the U.S.military,civ contractors and the Iraqi military  have all ,together,done alot of good for Iraq and its people.But no,it wont be shown on our news or in the papers,at this point people dont want to know that any good is happening.Most people thrive on gore and negativity.The media is a joke ! I'll continue to open emails that show very positive proof that its indeed taking place.
