Pierce Brosnan attacks President Bush over `savage` war

Pierce Brosnan has attacked President Bush for starting "a savage war" in Iraq and harming the environment - reports The Mirror.

The former Bond star said: "I have nothing against Republicans but this government has made decisions which we are to suffer the consequences of for a long, long time.

"You want to have faith in your leaders but it's very hard to have faith in President George W Bush."

He added in another interview: "Look at what he's done to the environment and this savage war that has started."

The Irishman admitted he risked a backlash like other stars who have spoken out about Iraq. He told the New York Daily News: "You speak up as an actor and people will shoot you down hard and fast.

"But you don't speak as an actor. You speak as a man, a working actor with a family."

The 52-year-old star also insisted he was no longer angry about being dumped as James Bond, he said: "Too many people get bitter about this game."
