George Michael’s 2002 video for ‘Shoot The Dog’, portraying a moronic George W. Bush and gutless Tony Blair is worth revisiting.
This week, a 6000 page Sir John Chilcot report on the occupation of the Iraq War found years of mismanagement by then British Prime Minister Tony Blair with his blind trust for war-monger US President George W. Bush.
The report found that Blair exaggerated the threat by Saddam Hussein and did not follow through on peaceful options available at the time. Blair kept vital information from his cabinet and backed the erratic Bush with “flawed information”.
Despite all of the information now known in the Chilcot report Blair was let off with the wave of the naughty finger. In a shallow apology he told the world, “I express more sorrow, regret and apology than you can ever know or believe.”
Reg Keys, the father of a British soldier killed in Iraq and who stood for the 2005 British election called Blair’s statement “ramblings of a madman”.
John Howard, Australia’s Prime Minister at the time and the third stooge alongside Blair and Bush, remained unrepentant after the death and destruction the trio caused.

George Michael released his anti-Bush and Blair song ‘Shoot The Dog’ in July 2002. The video depicts George W. Bush as a naïve child and Blair Bush’s loyal dog.
