""Before the war the majority of the population were in favour (look it up), parliament was in favour, the press was in favour, even Dr Kelly thought we had to take Saddam out (yes, kelly as a witness would probably be an advantage to TB).

Virtually everyone thought he had wmd (he'd already used them).

Blair had to make a decision, the rest of us don't face these sort of decisions for which we should be grateful .""

That is a really dumb comment.

Of course everybody you mentioned was in favour, based on the pack of lies Tony B Liar had composed and presented to Parliament.

One of the greatest snow jobs since Josef Goebbels in the 30s, and just as cynically self serving.

Blair knew that Saddam had no WMD.   Blair knew that Bush and his cronies were sexing up the figures to justify invasion ten months before the war. Blair knew that the documentary evidence was based on some C Grade paper from a university degree course.

Blair screwed Parliament, and the British people, and not out of conviction, but out of an ambition to be remembered as the PM who liberated the down trodden people of Iraq.

SELF AGGRANDISEMENT, pure and simple.

What gripes me is the easy ride he was given by this so called public enquiry. Whitewash all over Whitehall........AGAIN!
