Tony Blair, Iraq and WMD; ring any bells? Did Blair start it? No, he didn't. Did he move heaven and earth to keep Britain out of it? Again, no he didn't.It was a pointless war, it couldve been solved diplomatically by international sanctions without any loss of life. It would never have happened under a Labour Government. But Thatcher got everyone flag waving.

I think that was different, we into that with the Yanks, because they asked us too. Were allies. Blair believed they had WMD, American intel told him and assures the world of this.Tony Blair, Iraq and WMD; ring any bells? Did Blair start it? No, he didn't.

Could Blair not have said no? What it proves is that Labour is not whiter than white. Blair was nothing more than Bush's lapdog.I think that was different, we into that with the Yanks, because they asked us too. Were allies.

Agree, Blair was no better, and had a bigger ego, than Thatcher. I hated him.Could Blair not have said no? What it proves is that Labour is not whiter than white. Blair was nothing more than Bush's lapdog.
Blair knew there was no WMD unless of course you are saying the President was also lied to. They were not allowed to finish Saddam after the Kuwait invasion so they manufactured a reason to get rid if him.I think that was different, we into that with the Yanks, because they asked us too.

Any proof or just your opinion Musty ?Blair knew there was no WMD unless of course you are saying the President was also lied to. They were not allowed to finish Saddam after the Kuwait invasion so they manufactured a reason to get rid if him.
No one has any proof of who knew what but it was widely accepted the yank govt were not happy when they were told to stop at the Kuwait border. They manufactured an excuse.Any proof or just your opinion Musty ?
Further it is widely accepted that Blair knew there were no wmd's.

I think they were probably so determined to do it that they convinced themselves that there might be WMDs. They went looking for evidence of it after making their minds up first.
Hence the reliance on scaremongering bollocks like 45 minutes and the informant that watched "The Rock" movie (Sean Connery and Nic Cage) and described the entirely fictional poison missile technology.
