Tony Blair has refused to apologise for the security situation in Iraq, saying he bears no responsibility for it.

The prime minister told BBC Radio 4 that extremists trying to thwart Iraq's democracy were to blame for attacks.

"I don't think we should be apologising at all for what we are doing in Iraq. We're trying to support the democrats against the terrorists," he added.

"I don't think we should be apologising because we're not causing the terrorism.

"It's being caused by internal extremists who are linking up with external extremists. And 80-90% of that violence is in or around Baghdad and it's being caused deliberately in order to stop the government of Iraq - which 12 million people voted for - from functioning."

Link to interview on that page, if you can bear 30 minutes of Blair trying to claim that they had to disband all the Iraqi police and military, but the lack of any replacement police or military who could speak the language or have a cat in hell's chance of getting the populace on their side wasn't his fault at all, oh no sir. :banghead:
