The former mayor of London took to Press TV, an Iranian state-run network, recently to express his disdain for the Bush White House and his assurance that the Boston Marathon bombings were brought upon the United States because of its injustices abroad.

Resist we much.
A little late to the ‘Bush’s fault’ mantra Mr. Mayor?
Its called the “No Fly” list which no doubt will hurt him dearly because the wags think NYC and London are twin cities.
still not over the fact we whipped their asses in the Revolution
Reminds me of the type who blame women for being raped.
Bush White House.That would be the Bush White House that only did 1/5 of the drone strikes of the Obama White House.
Of course.
London is so overrun with Muslims, they have to do everything they can to appease them....Silly Brits.....
“Reminds me of the type who blame women for being raped.”
He is in Iran after all.
Heard this same lame reason about Sept. 11, 2001 from an Aussie. I reminded her that Osama bin Laden tried to blow up the Lucas Heights nuclear reactor to spread radiation over the main stadium of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Do a simple internet search on “2000 Olympics nuclear” and you’ll find numerous articles. Some that list the nationalities of the terrorist cell even mention Chechnyians in the group.
The “Bush regime” he says ...
I think all limp wristed Euro-Commies, Islamo/Nazis, racist blacks,
democrats and other socialists know who is really at fault here./s
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Livingstone
In 2004 during that year's London mayoral election, Livingstone was quoted on The Guardian's website as saying: “I just long for the day I wake up and find that the Saudi Royal Family are swinging from lamp-posts and they've got a proper government that represents the people of Saudi Arabia.”[274] He was criticised for his comments. Simon Hughes, the Liberal Democrats mayoral candidate, said the remarks were “deeply unhelpful, offensive and inappropriate”.[275]
In a March 2005 commentary in The Guardian he accused Israel's prime minister Ariel Sharon of being a “war criminal”, citing his alleged personal responsibility for the Sabra and Shatila massacre in 1982 and accusations of ethnic cleansing.[276]
On 20 July 2005, Livingstone made the following comments in a BBC interview about the role of foreign policy as a motivation for the London bombings of two weeks earlier:
“I think you've just had 80 years of western intervention into predominantly Arab lands because of the western need for oil. We've propped up unsavoury governments, we've overthrown ones we didn't consider sympathetic. And I think the particular problem we have at the moment is that in the 1980s ... the Americans recruited and trained Osama Bin Laden, taught him how to kill, to make bombs, and set him off to kill the Russians and drive them out of Afghanistan. They didn't give any thought to the fact that once he'd done that he might turn on his creators. A lot of young people see the double standards, they see what happens in Guantanamo Bay, and they just think that there isn't a just foreign policy.”
Later in the interview he stated, about the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip:
“Under foreign occupation and denied the right to vote, denied the right to run your own affairs, often denied the right to work for three generations, I suspect that if it had happened here in England, we would have produced a lot of suicide bombers ourselves.”[277]
Right-wing commentator Mark Steyn described the interview as Livingstone “artfully” attempting “to draw a distinction between Muslim terrorists blowing up his own public transit (which he didn't approve of) and Muslim terrorists blowing up Israeli public transit (which he was inclined to be sympathetic to).”[278]
In November 2003, Livingstone made headlines for referring to US President George W. Bush as ‘the greatest threat to life on this planet,’ just before Bush's official visit to the UK. Livingstone also organised an alternative ‘Peace Reception’ at City Hall ‘for everybody who is not George Bush,’ with anti-war Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic as the guest of honour. In 2004 he referred to Bush as “the most corrupt American president since Harding in the Twenties”.[279] In July 2007 Livingstone stated that Prime Minister Gordon Brown needed to explain to Bush “that US governments need to return to a realistic view of the world. The US is the world's single most powerful country, but much weaker than the rest of the world put together. The attempt by one country to unilaterally impose itself on the rest of the world is not only undesirable but simply won't work.”[280]
At a 2 January 2009 London press conference featuring celebrities announcing opposition to Israel's launch of the Gaza War, Livingstone called for the European Union and the UK to bring home their ambassadors to Israel to express disapproval for the “slaughter and systematic murder of innocent Arabs”.[281][282]
Livingstone said he was “appalled” that Osama bin Laden had been shot dead by US Special forces “in his pyjamas” and “in front of his kid,” and that the values of a western democracy would have been best demonstrated if Bin Laden had been put on trial and his words challenged.[283]
So, if "Red Ken" should slip on a banana peel and break his bloody neck... 
I would not shed a tear—
I.e. look at the way she was dressed. It’s her fault she was raped.
In the UK he’s known as “Red Ken”. He also had a deal with Hugo Chavez for a gas deal for the city of London if I recall correctly.
Now if somebody would take care of this guy we might be ready to jump up and take credit......
So what caused the London bombings in 2005 when Livingstone was mayor?
Red Ken can go “F” himself!
Nah. This is “Red Ken”. He’s still not over the fact that the Soviets lost the Cold War. He hates Great Britain as much as he hates the United States.
