Blair as Middle East Peace Envoy is the finest example of how this is one FUBAR planet.
Blair even refers to the "dark days of Saddam". Is that the same Saddam we armed and supported during the 1980s, even 'taking sides' on his side and giving him locations of Iranian troops so that Saddam could use his chemical weapons on those troops, only to then turn on him and trick hm into invading Kuwait and begin the slow grinding down of Iraq so that it could barely defend itself in 2003?
Tony Blair today demanded that Britain and the United States launch military action in Syria.
The former Prime Minister compared the violent Ashar al-Assad regime and its murdering of its own citizens with chemical weapons to the 'dark days of Saddam'.
Mr Blair, who took Britain to war in Afghanistan and Iraq, said this morning that it is 'time we took sides'.
