Blair's Defense Minister Tells Grieving Father of Murdered Colonel: You're Irritating Me

Looks like Blair's Defense Minister Geoffrey Hoon is cut from the same cloth as Rummy: All mouth, no heart. The Mirror reports: "Hoon told the grieving father of a murdered British soldier: "You're irritating me." was branded arrogant over the outburst by Reg Keys whose son Tom, 20, was one of six military police officers killed by a mob in Iraq. He claimed Mr Hoon told him: "I believe you're getting irritated and you're irritating me now." was angry at the lack of information given out by the Government and Army officials about how the six Red Caps died. He said: "Mr Hoon wants to try having his son murdered. If that happened and he was met with walls of silence and subterfuge, then he would know about being irritated...My son went to battle thinking it was about weapons of mass destruction. He was deceived, I was deceived, we were all deceived. I want to know why he was let down in life, when he was lied to and sent into a town to die, and then let down in death."

Reg said the astonishing comment came during a heated meeting with bereaved families.

3. IF OUR LEADERS WERE TRULY COMPASSIONATE & THOSE IN BRITAIN WERE TOO
words like that would not even approach their lips because they would not even be in their limbic brains! What a reptilian response to a man's pain! ;(
