The Guardian:

…
Edward Davey, the Liberal Democrats’ foreign affairs spokesman, said today: “If the British foreign secretary had said this to President Bush many months, if not years ago, then it would have deserved some credit. Mimicking President-elect Obama’s lines days before his inauguration does not show leadership.”

It’s just like sticking your fingers up at the school bully when he’s left the room.

After Congress labelled the genocide in Armenians in 1915-17, erm, genocide, Turkey has recalled it’s ambassador for ‘consultations’.

US President George W Bush had argued against the resolution, saying its passage would do “great harm” to relations with “a key ally in Nato and in the global war on terror”.

Can’t be doing with upsetting a T.W.A.T.* ally, now can we Georgie. After all, if 1.5 million is a genocide then…

*The War Against Terrorism

Saddam’s gonna swing then.
Time for a poll:
Which other vicious gits should also be seen at the end of a rope for commiting the ultimate Crime of Aggression of invading a sovereign country?

The Provisional IRA has undergone a “transformation”, disbanding military structures, standing down volunteers and following through on its political strategy of renouncing terrorism and crime, the Independent Monitoring Commission said yesterday.

Excellent news. Effectively, the Provisional IRA is disbanded.
Just got to bang up all the criminals who think they are paramiliteries.
