Chief aim of war is now to "avenge death of George Harrison"
- Blair
The Prime Minister Tony Blair today broadcast the following statement
on the death of George Harrison.
'George Harrison was a lovely lovely Beatle.
'He hated any kind of war but I know that if he were alive this
afternoon he would have unreservedly backed military strikes against
the Taliban followed up by further action led by British special
forces against Al Qaeda terrorists hiding in fifty other countries.
'Harrison was a man of peace. And in his last dying moments this
curious Beatle who constantly searched for enlightenment, must have
attained the one absolute certainty : there is no need whatsoever
for an inquiry into the death of up to 400 Taliban prisoners in
the
Qala-I-Jhangi fort.
'Yes, there will be times when we find the whole business of war
difficult.
'But at times like those, let's never forget songs like 'While
My Guitar Gently Weeps' and 'Taxman'.
Make no mistake... 'George Harrison must be avenged by we , a weeping
country, stirred to anger and swift to absolutely furious.
