Mick Jagger has slammed Prime Minister Tony Blair for going to war in Iraq.
The Rolling Stones frontman told Spanish reporters:
"It makes me angry that Blair already knew that arms of mass destruction were simply an excuse and had nothing planned for the day after."

He continued: "In Iraq, you have three irreconcilable groups - the Shiites, the Sunnies and the Kurds. Either you establish a very well thought-out system of confederation, or something will break. Only now is the United States discovering the reality of Iraq."

The critics will definitely make Tony Blair feel hurt, as it is a well known fact that he is a big fan of the Stones.
He has recently attended the Music Hall of Fame, but got slammed again, this time by Damon Albarn, who said: "Call me old fashioned, but who on earth invited Tony Blair here tonight?".

Tony Blair is not the only one attacked by the Rolling Stones. The song "Sweet Neo Con" is slapping the Bush administration, with lines like this:
"You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite / You call yourself a patriot, well I think you're full of shit.
"How come you're so wrong? My sweet neo-con, where's the money gone, in the Pentagon."
