Former Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz has died in jail: Nice guy in a nasty situation - made no better by Bush/BLair's Shock and AweNice guy? NICE GUY!
This isn't some idiotic student "protester" we're talking about here - it's the 67-year old journalist who has presented Channel 4 News since 1989.
Snow also tweeted:
I spent time with Tariq Aziz, interviewed him often..Christian that he was - they didn't kill him, they just let him rot to death in jailThey left him to rot in jail? Gosh, how mean of "them". After all, what had he really done? Apart from supporting, defending and carrying out the murderous orders of a fantastically brutal dictator whom even fellow-Arabs might consider to have been a trifle over-the-top. I mean, this bastard was convicted of crimes against humanity!
Let's face it - you'd have to be quite seriously deranged to view the fate of a creature like Tariq Aziz in that light, no matter how nice the old chap was to you when you had your cosy chin-wags slagging off your hated mutual enemies, i.e. the United States and its tyrannical, war-mongering, genocidal leader, George W. Bush.
What consciousness-altering chemcials do they put in the water in the North London redoubts where these ghastly old lefties hang out? As the left-wing journalist Nick Cohen put it: "Everything that's wrong with the British Left handily summarised in one tweet."
If he's so keen on homicidal Arab fascists, why doesn't Jon Snow simply cut to the chase, piss off to Iraq, and join ISIS? Either that, or book himself into the Dunfrothin' Nursing Home for Bewildered Old Commies? Where he could spend his twilight years writing letters of apology to the families of all the innocent victims of Saddam Hussein's almost inconceivably horrific regime.
