Blair: I do not know if Iraq had WMDs
link: http://www.news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=37132004

~SNIP~

TONY Blair has admitted that he does not know whether Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction at the time of the Iraq war, and is no longer confident of finding any.

The Prime Minister has also said he was looking for evidence of "clandestine operations" in Iraq - backing down from his earlier pledge that weapons programmes would be found rather then weapons themselves.

He also left doubt hanging over whether he will lead the Commons debate on the forthcoming Hutton Report or whether one of his ministers will be sent to do battle with Michael Howard, the Conservative leader.

Speaking on BBC1’s Breakfast with Frost programme yesterday, Mr Blair made no attempt to defend the central claim in his Iraq dossier - that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction that could be fired within 45 minutes.

2. Blair is like Dean

7. That's inappropriate and WAY out of line


If you want to compare an honorable man like Howard Dean to a man like Tony Blair, who LIED through his TEETH in his eagerness to push a war where THOUSANDS have died, then you can just take a long walk off a short pier, smacky.

would not have implemented Britains drive to join Bu$h`s war crime. And it is a war crime. You can just read international law and know that I am correct about that. Blair is party to a war crime of epic proportions. (Because the killing is just getting started) Will the "New Bu$h Nazi`s" bail his sorry ass out? I hear he has a chair at the Carlyle Group waiting for him. Not a bad return for a little investment in an act of mass murder huh?
Peace

14. He said that "45 min." thing with such conviction
I can still picture his impassioned plea to the British...it was hard not to believe him or trust him. I'd love to know what his motivation was for being used so badly!
