Thread Name: BS: Oops (No WMDs in Iraq)
Subject: RE: BS: Oops (No WMDs in Iraq)
The war has made the world a far more dangerous place. And the indications are it has in many ways made Iraq an even worse place to live than it was under Saddam, especially for women.

All the reasons given for the war have turned out to be false.

In these cirvumstances the only honest thing for people who supported itis to say is "Sorry, we got it wrong, but it was an honest mistake - we really believed those things we said."

That seems to be the general thing that many of the politicians and media people in the UK who backed the war are saying anyway. Even Blair. (Except that in the case of Blair he avoids actually using the word "Sorry".)

From this thread I get the impression that in the USA there is more of a tendency to say "Don't confuse us with facts - we were right all along, and we still are right." Is this really how it is?
