WAR ON BRITAIN: 85% BLAME BOMBS ON WAR IN IRAQ
EXCLUSIVE
By Rosa Prince, Political Correspondent

AN overwhelming 85 per cent of people blame the Iraq invasion for the London bombings, a Daily Mirror/GMTV poll reveals today.

The survey is a hammer blow to Tony Blair, who insists Britain's role in the war had nothing to do with the 7/7 terror attacks.

His words were greeted with incredulity by critics who are convinced Muslim anger on Iraq has fuelled Islamic extremism. And now that view has been borne out by our YouGov poll

In all, 23 per cent said the war was the main reason for the London bombings. Another 62 per cent believe that while Iraq was not the principle cause, it did contribute to the reasons behind the atrocities.

1. Yes, Tony.... is in complete denial

Horrible, terrible choice and deal with the devil
Life is tough....

[1932]

2. Only 15% feel it was primary cause.

[evermind]

7. The article does say 23% - where is your figure from? (n/t)

[cire4]

3. British public aren't as easily fooled as American public

They are more likely see through the bullshit. Of course, they do have the better media.

4. George H W Bush was smart enough to leave Iraq alone

because of destabilization worries. W doesn't share the smarts or is perhaps a little more greedy for his corporate backers. Same with Blair. Another day in hell in Iraq at www.icasualties.org

5. Pretty sad that dope Blair put his citizens' lives at risk...

just so he could play war with that POS *.

6. Cliss humble prediction:

In the event there are more bombings (God forbid), the English public may just take matters in their own hands.

Those Bobbies may get more mayhem than they counted on.

That percentage is going to dwindle with each successive bombing. I don't want to go to England any more. Visited there last summer - had a great time. Made plans to go back soon - no more, Tony.

8. I doubt this will put to rest all of the nutty theories suggesting...

...that Blair did this for political gain.

[rman]

9. Well, Blair does seem to think his policies would have gained

popular support due to these bombings.
So, -if- it was a false-flag operation then it was done for political gain.

[Henny Penny]

10. Well it forces Kennedy and Howard to get on board

with any legal reforms that might be required.

11. I was interested to read that Jack Straw

was pulled into line when he made the completely outrageous statement that the London bombings had nothing to do with the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Blair knows the Brits aren't stupid, they know exactly why these bombings have occurred.

[Zorra]

12. 85% of those polled show common sense. Of course it's Iraq.

Bu*h and Blair have let the genie out of the bottle, and until the US and Britain adopt a sensible, workable foreign policy that may actually make the world a safe place to live again, no one on the planet will be safe.

But that is not their plan. Their plan is for worldwide violence to escalate, because violence and war is good for business.
