 As for it's ok for Corbyn to be a terrorist supporter because others are too wtf really, you're better than that. 

Corbyn judged the Iraq invasion of 2003 correctly and whilst it didn't make any practical difference at the time, it points to someone who in a similar situation, wouldn't simply be a poodle for the USA as all the other alternatives would. Taking control back is a current theme, isn't it ?

 

It turned out to be the biggest and worst foreign policy decision of this century.

The so called 'War on Terror' was at best, a foolish strategic error and very possibly a deliberate mistake. 

Think about all those lives lost.

You did indeed but your fantasy is being bitch slapped by the reality outside of your bubble. Despite the rise in  populism coming from the right it doesn't automatically follow those populists are all neoliberals far from it. 

I didn't say they were.

Trump only won because of the arrogance and the ignorance of the Democratic Party and their Clinton is God complex. Seriously how the f*&k was an intellectually redundant billionaire who lives in a gilded cage on New York's 5th Avenue more in tune with unemployed former steelworkers in the rust belt than the Democratic Party?  

Yes and the DNC rigged their own process, were caught and deserved to lose.

Corrupt party in a corrupt political system.

IMO it's the Populist Leftist Antifa and their brethren being funded by the likes of Soros who pose a greater risk to society.  

Soros is up to all sorts and is part of a corrupt culture.

LOL...in other words as I said they simply aren't as good at playing the game eh?

 

All sides use divide an conquer as that's the prequel to the unity (or perhaps subjugation) you crave , the Corbynistas are giving us a real time demonstration with their entryism into the constituency Labour Parties of any MP that opposes ant-semitism. 

You said earlier that the Israelis wiould be negligent if they weren't doing something regards the possibility of Corbyn becoming PM,....well as we know, they are powerful, have a lot of influence, are good at the dark arts and have the Labour party in difficulty regards the anti-semitism campaign.

That the scale of abuse/benefit has ebbed and flowed is self evident as that's the nature of the beast and currently it's way out of kilter of what could pass as acceptable but history is littered with evidence that a Leftist Revolution cannot provide the change required all it does is change the faces.

 A traditional Labour party winning a General Election isn't a "Leftist Revolution".

 

Four decades of the same political ideology needs to be brought to an end by a party who looks to provide a political and economic counterbalance, simples.

Again remind me how long did Cook's (and Corbyn's you see to think) Ethical Foreign Policy last? If voting against the Iraq War is your criteria for Prime Minister then the likes of Kenneth Clarke (who actually has held one of the Great Offices of State) is surely a shoe-in no? Me neither.

 

We should have just left Al-Qada and it's associates free reign to bomb and kill whoever they wanted?

Your reply certainly implied it, re "align themselves with parts of neoliberalism" why just the right when there's plenty on the left certainly do?

We concur, however I've never seen a political system that isn't corrupt have you?

Of course they would be.

 

I posit that the biggest difficulty the Labour Party has in regards to anti-semitism is that it's led by an anti-semite who has made it a comfortable home for those of that ilk.

The Labour Party under Corbyn isn't a traditional Labour Party, if it were it would be in power,simples!

The Iraq invasion was a huge foreign policy decision that has had huge repercussions.

It wasn't a mistake though, it was about deceit and lies on a grand scale.

Thing is most still listen to the same or similarly minded people as if nothing had happened.

 

Your own question points towards part of a complex answer, AQ weren't in Iraq whilst Saudi Arabia, the main sponsers of terrorism in the Middle East were kept as allies.

I posit that you've bought the line of attack by those who you conceded would be negligent not to go after Corbyn.

Read the last manifesto !  

It's Traditional as opposed to 'New Neoliberal' Labour.

It probably would be in power had they a younger and more charismatic leader who was more difficult for the heavy machinery to step on. Thing is anyone much younger than Corbyn will be relying on books to tell him what traditional Labour in power was about. They have to find a modern brand of tradition that has to provide a political counterbalance.

And was brought to us by a Labour government with an "Ethical Foreign Policy".

Al Qada are/were all over the Muslim world however the Baathist regime kept them down. I'd have no problem if the Arabian desert was turned into a sheet of glass.

The Israelis didn't invite the IRA to Westminster days after they bombed Brighton, the Israelis didn't lay a wreath at the graves of the Black September terrorists who perpetrated the Munich Massacre. The Israelis don't stand on platforms and describe Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists as their friends and brothers. That was all Corbyn's own doing, "by your actions shall ye be known".

So Iraq was invaded on a pack of lies.

If you want to talk about politicans actually involved with terror look at those going into Iraq, who support Saudi Arabia and their Jihadist groups.

So as well as the "wrong kind of Socialism" we now have the "wrong kind of Labour Party"? :D

No let's talk about Corbyn and his real, clear and well documented love of terrorists, anti-semite terrorists at that.

Asked for or got?

I'd say the invasion of Iraq was brought about by our poodle-esque relationship with the US.  And the US are dictated to by certain interests, internal and external. 

 

As a British citizen, I'm far more concerned about Corbyn's relationship with terrorists closer to home than his interests in the perennial mess that is the Middle East.
