Not sure about his remarks on Syria, but I'd happily see the two of them in court for the amount of soldiers lives they wasted for a kick-off...

I do think we should see Blair stand trial for Iraq.

Not to mention the number of civilian lives.

If they are to be tried for war crimes, it would (under international law) have to happen in The Hague at the ICC, not in the UK. I think the invasion of Afghanistan happened just after that was instituted and it's therefore under it's jurisdiction.

History is written by the winners. So unlike Nazi war criminals who went on trial, these two will get away with it because their side won.

Debatable at best. But they would claim that, obviously.
