Funny that as he seemed to be raring to go when he and Bush set it in motion. Anyway if he never wanted the Iraq war then he should know that the majority of the British people didn't want him.

Tony Blair will go down in history, as the one of the worlds greatest liars, he has caused the death of 100s of our soldiers, and 1000s of civilians, If he didn't want to go to war, why did he tell us those lies about weapons of mass destruction?
Its a shame they will not prosecute him under Crimes Against Humanity Act.

you can be wise after the event and make people believe you-OK. but for a Pm it's other story. he had many spins ,what were such doing- savoring the political goodies offered behind such offices or dreaming of some holiday resort full of the three S? You must know now with evolving democracy tricks do not collect many votes.Personally many do not believe that Blair did not want it.Then politics have long shoots which people will take time to understand - so silence is gold here!

Yeah Right.
Thats why my lad spent over a week in security clampdown at a certain base in the UK back in September 2002. Drew arms & ammo on the night Jack Straw stood in front of the UN asking for a mandate to invade Iraq. Sent a quick text saying "it's Basra aiport, hold until reinforced - speak to you when poss". Then after refusal of mandate another text "cancelled - told only exercise"
My lad was told in November 2002 the invasion was earmarked for March 2003.
'nuff said!!

It was kind of demeaning at times to see his slavish loyalty towards George Bush and basically the look of adoration he often gave him at press conferences and also generally. It made me loose all repsect for Blair - I'd have fair more respect for a Prime Minister who would speak up against the USA from time to time, not just criticising for the sake of it but constructive criticism.

Yes I believe it, because all it says is that Blair had not agreed to go to war when he met Bush at his ranch. Big deal. He agreed later & the rest is history.
And I still reckon that if it wasn't for Iraq, Tony Blair would have been a good PM.

I think what Tony Blair REALLY wanted, was to get "in good" with the new Bush Administration back in 2000- never realising WHAT he was getting into when he "signed onto" the War in Iraq in 2003. ...The "moral " of THAT story is, be careful who you stand behind (they JUST might land on TOP of you)... :)

Yeah yeah they all say that now that Iraq is a screw up if the war went well he would be like "Yes I had a very crucial part in the liberation of Iraq bla bla bla"
Everyone who was involved in Iraq ditched and just blamed Bush yeah really mature. Only Bush has had the balls to face the music.

Blair was an Idiot if he thought the "cronnies" from Texas were going to fix things in Iraq. Hell he & the UN KNEW Iraq had NO WMD's!
Ive been saying since day 1 that all Bush wanted was the $2.5 trillion in O-I-L!
