Mahathir condemns Bush, Blair as war criminals

Channel News Asia, KUALA LUMPUR:
"Former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad condemned British premier Tony Blair and US President George W. Bush as 'child killers' and 'war criminals' as he launched an anti-war conference.

Mahathir, who has been nominated by Bosnian civil society groups for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for helping the country after its bloody civil war, said the pair should be put on trial for their military action in Iraq.

'History should remember Blair and Bush as the killer of children or the lying prime minister and president. What Bush and Blair had done is worse than what Saddam had done,' he said, referring to hanged Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Mahathir also turned his scorn on Australian Prime Minister John Howard, deriding him as the 'pocket Bush of the bushlands of Australia'...."
