Mowlam calls for bin Laden talks from This is London

Former Northern Ireland Secretary Mo Mowlam has called on the British and American governments to open talks with Osama bin Laden and al Qaida around a negotiating table.

Uh, MO, maybe you missed the part where in response to the question from a western journalist, "what is it that you want from us - what can we give you in return for peace?", the terrorist said

"We do not want anything from you. We want you to die!"

Or perhaps you haven't been reading their communiques and watching their videos where in they vow to "take back" all Muslim lands?

In a television interview which will be broadcast on Easter Sunday, she described the current hardline approach to the war on terror as "completely counter-productive".

Ah, the smell of spring in the air. Smells like, well like, mmm, "appeasement!"

Jerry Adams and the IRA are going to love this part:

Interviewer Tony Cartledge asked if she could imagine "al Qaida and Osama bin Laden arriving at the negotiating table".

She replied: "You have to do that. If you do not you condemn large parts of the world to war forever.

"Some people couldn't conceive of Gerry Adams or Martin McGuinness getting to the table but they did."


Adams, McGuinness and the IRA equated to bin Laden and Al-Qaeda? Did you guys hear that?
MO, MO or is that MOO, get a grip lady.

She added: "If you go in with guns and bombs, you act as a recruitment officer for the terrorists."

Yo, Mo help me out here a little. Just what would one "go in" with after Al-Qaeda bombed two of your embassies, blew up one of your ships, bombed the World Trade Center, flew two planes into the World Trade Center, flew a plane into the Pentagon, tried to fly a plane into the White House, blew up 200 people in Bali and blew up 200 people in Spain? Sorry if I missed anyone. Sorry, Mo Mo, whoops my bad, MOO, I think the "recruitment phase" was over a long time ago.

Where have you been my little Mo Mo? Ah! Now I remember! You were away thinking up great new government polices like 1000 pound on the spot fines for smokers of cannabis. Now why wouldn't that work? "Oh, hey man, chill out officer. I like, you know, like, forgot my pin number man. Bummer, short term memory loss dude".

So, why are we getting this garbage from a has been politician? Wait for it!

Ms Mowlam said she was ready to criticize the Government she once served in her new one-woman show, particularly about its policy on Iraq and the Middle East.

Bingo! When you get this kind of nonsense it has to be a book sell or a program launch. More bit pollution for the digital television.
