BOURNEMOUTH, England (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Tony Blair told anti-war critics in his ruling Labor Party on Tuesday he would "take the same decision again" to join the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Blair, whose trust ratings have plunged since the overthrow of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, conceded his decision to join the war had hurt, angered and disappointed many of his supporters.

"Iraq has divided the international community. It has divided the party, the country, families, friends," he told delegates at the annual Labor Party Conference.

"I know many people profoundly believe the action we took was wrong," Blair said. "I ask just one thing: attack my decision but at least understand why I took it and why I would take the same decision again."

7. He likes to fullfill the "Biblical Revelations".....its is a power high!!!

I had a conversation with my brother 12 years ago about the possibility of someone in the world attempting to fullfill the prophesies of the Revelations and how dangerous this could be.

He said that this could happen and due to the hypnotic vulnerability
of the religious orders, this was going to be most likely at the
turn of the millenium.
I never dreamed in a million years that Bush and Blair would be the instigators.

The irony is that very few in the world are falling for this scam.

And they are laughing at them instead of with them.

Such a sad bunch of suckers.
