Tony Blair backpedals on Iraq , Tony Blair is toast

[Mari333]

Tony Blair yesterday signalled that weapons of mass destruction may never be found in Iraq, in his first admission of fallibility over the central justification he gave for going to war with Iraq.
In his most downbeat assessment of the contentious issue so far, the prime minister said he did not know whether WMD would be unearthed, and conceded that this flew in the face of widespread initial expectations.

"I do not know is the answer," he admitted. "I believe that we will but I agree there were many people who thought we were going to find this in the course of the actual operation ... We just have to wait and see".

1. it's still hard to believe that Blair thought riding the Bush*...

...bandwagon would lead him anywhere but down.

2. I dont know what to think

This topic is confusing to me but if i had to say my opinion i would probably say that Tony got in this war just so they could be on our side, now he realizes that his own British citizens are losing family members and friends for a lost cause.

3. anglo saxon solidarity?

doesn't make sense, agree, but... goddam, bush 'needed' brit support last year or no iraq war and bush screwed long ago!
