Blair signs Olympic Truce

[dArKeR]

Athens - British Prime Minister Tony Blair signed the Olympic Truce at the birthplace of the games on Saturday, even as his troops in Iraq were breaking the spirit of the document which calls for a halt in worldwide conflict during the 16 days of competition.

Organizers of the truce - inspired by the cease-fire between warring city-states during the ancient games - say more than 450 world leaders and international personalities have signed the initiative.

On Saturday, 20 prime ministers, heads of state and members of royal families signed the document, including Blair, Spain's Queen Sofia and Prince Albert of Monaco. Organizers said former US President George W Bush was invited, but declined to attend.

1. Bush said this truce "doesn't apply" to US conflict in Iraq

3. Adding insult to injury?

"British PM Tony Blair signed the Olympic Truce ... even as his troops
in Iraq were breaking the spirit of the document which calls for a halt in worldwide conflict during the 16 days of competition."

So ... Blair's bloody hands have sullied the Olympic Truce document.
Bush the coward who travels in a bubble anywhere he goes declined to attend and no representative for Bush's bloody hands signed the Olympic Truce document, further affirming Bush's obsession with war, killing, and more war.

Tony Blair and Bush have turned Britain and the United States, respectively, into rogue nations. x(
