I REMEMBER some time ago predicting that the whole of the middle east could be destabilised because of George Bush and Tony Blair’s obsession in removing Saddam Hussein.

We all know now this was achieved by creating the dodgy dossier and that Saddam did not possess weapons of mass destruction.

This set in motion a series of events which cost the lives of hundreds of our soldiers and countless Americans troops in the belief that this would end tyrannical rule, but in fact has delivered the exact opposite as extremist jihadists readily filled the void and spread their brand of extremist Islam to neighbouring countries.

How Obama thinks Iraq can fend off these jihadists remains to be seen, but what of the architects of this mess?

Well George is on a golf course and Tony is busy adding to his multi-million pound property portfolio and offering advice to multi-national banks and companies. He can’t be doing much in his role as the middle east peace envoy as Israel and Palestine are intent on destroying each other.

Meanwhile, our cosseted politicians are busy in between courses of working out how to cut our defence budget further, which is sheer madness when there is turmoil all around the globe.

If they carry on we would be hard pushed to defend the Isle of Man but what should we expect from these well educated clones.

We could be sleepwalking into disaster but do not have any statesmen or anyone who will stand up and be counted. We only have spin doctors who might come in handy when we suffer a atrocity or events around the world overtake us, As I’ve said we have opened a Pandora’s box and cannot put the lid back on.
