"Blair knew that Saddam had no WMD."

Very definite statement there Don T - PROVE IT.

"based on the pack of lies Tony B Liar had composed and presented to Parliament"

Didn't they have a special review or inquiry into that very topic? So it should be very easy to detail and list the "lies" told. According to everyone who had anything to do with it the only input Tony Blair had to the September Dossier was his introduction. All the information came from UNSCOM Reports and the intelligence services. They were responsible for the evaluations, conclusions and recommendations. I await with baited breath the production of this "List of Lies" based upon what was known in the late summer and early autumn of 2002.

Particularly liked this Peter K:

"I'm sure Ross would appreciate your advice that he familiarise himself with the text of 1441. However you would discover from the most cursory research that he has good reason to be a lot more familiar with the text that you."

That undoubtedly being the case Peter he would be fully aware of the opening lines of it:

UN Security Council Resolution 1441 (2002)

Adopted by the Security Council at its 4644th meeting, on 8 November 2002

The Security Council, Recalling all its previous relevant resolutions, in particular its resolutions 661 (1990) of 6 August 1990, 678 (1990) of 29 November 1990, 686 (1991) of 2 March 1991, 687 (1991) of 3 April 1991, 688 (1991) of 5 April 1991, 707 (1991) of 15 August 1991, 715 (1991) of 11 October 1991, 986 (1995) of 14 April 1995, and 1284 (1999) of 17 December 1999, and all the relevant statements of its President, Recalling also its resolution 1382 (2001) of 29 November 2001 and its intention to implement it fully,

Recognizing the threat Iraq's non-compliance with Council resolutions and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles poses to international peace and security,

Recalling that its resolution 678 (1990) authorized Member States to use all necessary means to uphold and implement its resolution 660 (1990) of 2 August 1990 and all relevant resolutions subsequent to resolution 660 (1990) and to restore international peace and security in the area,

Further recalling that its resolution 687 (1991) imposed obligations on Iraq as a necessary step for achievement of its stated objective of restoring international peace and security in the area,

Now what was it he said about Iraq and Iraq's WMD not posing a threat again Peter?

United nations Security Council Resolution 1441, specifically states:

"Recognizing the threat Iraq's non-compliance with Council resolutions and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles poses to international peace and security"

Reading through that sentence I instantly recognise the following words - THREAT; IRAQ; WMD; INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY. Can you imagine Ross reading that and failing to join those dots?
