AFTER Blair & Bush
"I wouldn't rule out an attack on Iran,"
says [rightwing Blair heir] Cameron

Britain could face war with Iran under David Cameron
Britain would be prepared to back military strikes against Iran if
David Cameron becomes Prime Minister.
The Conservative leader* yesterday accused former Foreign Secretary
Jack Straw of diplomatic blundering when he ruled out the use of
force against Tehran, and called for much tougher diplomacy to halt
Iran's nuclear ambitions.
His tough rhetoric came as British Army officers in Afghanistan
said they were now fighting an "undeclared war" against Iranian-
backed militias, supplied with increasingly deadly weaponry from
across the border.
And security analysts said Iranian spies have been carrying out
reconnaissance trips at nuclear power stations in Europe --
apparently planning revenge terror attacks in case the West tries
to disable Iran's own nuclear facilities.
Intelligence sources said security has been stepped up around key
British sites in response, including critical oil and gas terminals.
Concerns have grown in recent months over the flow of deadly
weaponry being supplied from Iran to insurgents in both Iraq and
Afghanistan. Mr Cameron yesterday demanded tougher UN and European-
Union sanctions to force Tehran to halt its nuclear weapons programme.
If Iran fails to comply, he said, a Tory government would back
Washington in strikes against the rogue state.
He said: "I think [US Secretary of State] Condoleezza Rice is right
to say it is not on the agenda, but I think Jack Straw was wrong to
rule it completely out of order.
"I don't think it is ever sensible in international affairs to rule
things completely out and I wouldn't take that path."
He said it would be a "calamity" if Iran develops a nuclear weapon,
adding: "Make no mistake: The threat is growing. The scale and
urgency of our response needs to match it." '
Mr Cameron and Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague said Britain
should spearhead a "rapid" shift in policy on Iran by using its
influence in the EU, UN and with the U.S. to beef up "weak" sanctions.
Tory MP and former infantry commander Patrick Mercer yesterday
revealed a recent email from a friend serving in southern
Afghanistan, stating: "We are fighting an undeclared war over here
against Iranian-backed militias."
And Army sources claimed members of Iran's fanatical Revolutionary
Guard are supplying the Taliban with Soviet-designed SA-7 Strela
surface to air missiles, capable of shooting down helicopters on
which UK forces in Afghanistan rely heavily.
UK troops are being attacked with more sophisticated RPG-29 anti-
tank rockets which carry warheads designed to cut through the best
tank armour, as well as increasingly powerful roadside bombs which
produce a rod of molten metal capable of slicing through thick
steel armour.
Addressing a security briefing at the Commons, Mr Mercer said:
"These are not improvised bombs knocked up in a back shed. They are
factory-grade weapons being manufactured and used with considerable
expertise, to devastating effect."
In an attack in April on UK forces in Iraq's Maysan Province,
insurgents staged an elaborate ambush with more than 40 of these
bombs, Mr Mercer said, killing two men from the Queen's Royal Lancers.

... Blair returned from vacation in Barbados last week to the worst
approval rating his party has seen in 19 years. An ICM poll in The
Guardian newspaper showed Labour support at 31 percent, versus 40
percent for the Conservatives and 22 percent for the Liberal
Democrats. If the election were today, the Conservatives would win
a majority of around ten seats in the House of Commons and see the
new Conservative leader, 39-year-old David Cameron, installed as
prime minister.
Accordingly, Labour supporters believe the game is up.
Writing in The Guardian, Peter Wilby, a former editor of the Labour-
supporting New Statesman magazine, predicted that "David Cameron
will enter Downing Street in 2009 or 2010."
Senator John McCain appears to believe it as well: To the delight
of Conservatives, he accepted an invitation to speak at their
annual conference in Bournemouth this month. After years during
which leading Republicans spurned British Conservatives as
irrelevant, the Brits see a visit by one of America's most popular
politicians as evidence of their man's growing credibility.
So is Blairism --the unthreatening blend of social justice, market
economics, and Clintonite campaign sophistication that revived
Labour after 18 years in opposition-- now dead? Actually, no, but
it has found a strange new home: Traditional Conservative
politicians now say that that Cameron is simply Blair by other
means -- a new Labour-style politician in a Tory blue rosette who
is rescuing [Margaret Thatcher's]authoritarian conservative party]
from the brink of irrelevance by ditching policies they revere.
