Guys! Get the planks out of thine own eyes!
These liberal bishops can't seem to contain their disgust over the removal of a tyrant and the attempt to liberate a people from such cruelty. What is it that pleases them about the likes of Saddam Hussein?
Thank you Tony Blair for offering this world some needed moral guidance. Never mind the bishops who have their heads up their pompous butts. We live in a world gone strange!

"Undoubtedly, a very wicked leader has been removed, but there are wicked leaders in other parts of the world."

Let me guess who is one his list of "wicked leaders"...

1. Ariel Sharon
2. George W. Bush
3. Silvio Berlusconi (Italy)
4. Jose Maria Asnar (Spain)
5. Tony Blair

Meanwhile I'm sure Assad, Mubarak, Mugabe, et al are just peachy keen with this Marxist priest.

"a very strange distortion of Christianity"

Uh huh. Aren't these the same people who have above them a practicing druid as Archbishop of Canterbury?

"For Bush and Blair to go into Iraq together was like a bunch of white vigilantes going into Brixton to stop drug dealing. This is not to deny there's a problem to be sorted, just that they are not credible people to deal with it,"

I see. So you just can't have white people solving problems, then? What kind of sense does that make?

Bull_Durham. Tom Wright is Wrong.

[cpprfld]

Where is this guys email? I am one of those religious conservatives, who supports this war and is supposedly "profiting" from this war. The last time that I checked I still haven't received any money from the government for this war.

[skr]

I'm not hearing any spiritual or even religious reasons, just political mumbo-jumbo from these people.

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

And, as the organized churches of men circle the drain...

[SkyPilot]

Bishop of Durham, Tom Wright, accused religious conservatives surrounding the US president, George Bush, of espousing "a very strange distortion of Christianity"

How much does anyone want to bet tat this "bishop" believes homosexuality is not a sin?

[wardaddy]

What has happened to so much of Christianity?

[sarasmom]

Is this self-righteous shaman so drunk with power that he forgets whom he has sworn to serve? And why?

Ah well, God is his judge.
Someone should remind him of that simple, basic fact of human spirituality.It appears he has forgotten...

In a separate rebuke, the Archbishop of York, David Hope, questioned the legitimacy of the war and said Mr Blair would have to answer to God - a "higher authority" - for his decision to forge ahead with the conflict.

I'm sure the Archbishop wishes God was as disappointed as he that Blair helped to shut down the torture chambers, rape rooms, mass graves and terror in Iraq.

How do loons with inverted morality like this actually become Archbishops? Tell me!

The Archbishop of York, I fear will be watching from Hell as the Lord rewards Tony Blair for this magnificant and truly good achievement on earth ....one for which God can be thanked and praised.

[DeFault User]

Downing Street last night refused to be drawn on the church leaders' attacks,...

Blair does not have time to deal with the irrelevant.

[Jorge]

Dr Hope went on to call on Britons to "spend more time praying for Tony Blair", who should exercise a "calm, quiet authority".

As if Tony Blair needs the prayers of this self-righteous depraved religious hypocrite.

Dr. Hope is all upset that the murdering dictator has been overthrown and a people liberated from tyranny, and dares to say he will pray for Blair. I want to throw up.

[jwalsh07]

Lunatics.

[ctonious]

Considering how blase England is about religion these days, this bishop must be following his statements up with "Hello?...test..test...Is this mike on?"

[What Is Ain't]

"Undoubtedly, a very wicked leader has been removed, but there are wicked leaders in other parts of the world."

Quite right, old boy! I can think of two of the Church of England's most senior figures who should be removed.

[Tactical]

The former foreign secretary Robin Cook yesterday said it was time for Mr Blair to drop his claims about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. "It really is time that the prime minister accepted that himself," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "It is undignified to continue to insist he was right when everyone can see he was wrong."

This kind of mentality is so asinine!

I don't care if we find anything of WMD at all. We know for a fact Saddam had them, and used them in the IRAN/IRAQ war and against the Kurds up north. I don't need any more info that that to convict Saddam and his henchmen/women.

What is and will always be important is that fact the the coalition forces ousted the Bastard and freed an enslaved, endangered people.

No one can convince me, that something is wrong with the picture. Evil was removed and it had to be done by war, which by nature is violent. Saddam had his chance to surrender, move to a safe country and prior to that cooperate with the weaklings at the U.N. Of course he thumbed his nose at them, he knew they wouldn't follow through with the threats, firstly because those threats were weak and not clearly defined.

Thank the good Lord that "W" and Blair were in office when all of this came to a head. At least we have leaders with the guts to state their policies and stand by them.

Look at the DEM candidates, boy those guys can't figure out where they stand from day to day!

[driftless]

As an American, I feel a whole lot better knowing that Britain has as large a percentage of stupid leftists as we do.

[observer5]

"Undoubtedly, a very wicked leader has been removed, but there are wicked leaders in other parts of the world."

Same old idiotic argument. If the police cannot arrest ALL criminals, they have no right to arrest any!

[Prodigal Son]

Blair ought to start wearing a Pith Helmet and riding a charger around the streets of London waving a sword on his way to work everyday. That would drive 'em nuts.
