Blair Comments Outrage Iran
June 25, 2003 BBC News Jim Muir

Why are they so allegedly outraged with Blair? Bush publically supports the Iranian student demonstrations too.

The Iranian regeim can kiss my ass.
Hopefully the folks there will get fed up with these religious Nazis and kick them out or raise up and kill them.

Further proof, as if any were still needed, that whatever his flaws, Blair is not the British Clinton. Another tip of the topper to our great ally.
