Lex Luthor Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I just want to say as it is becoming increasingly clear what has happened, to all those that marched against this war, those that had posters in their windows, those that spoke up against it - Thank you.

RJRB Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 The most crass thing that Blair has said is that given the same information he would do exactly the same again. The problem was that he did not question any of the so called intelligence,because he was hell bent in supporting Bush and going to war. He has learnt nothing at all.

taxman Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 The most crass thing that Blair has said is that given the same information he would do exactly the same again. The problem was that he did not question any of the so called intelligence,because he was hell bent in supporting Bush and going to war. He has learnt nothing at all. He received "intelligence" that supported his and Bush's desire for war and he didn't question it. He went to the House of Commons and repeated it and said it was cast iron. If he'd received intelligence to the contrary of what he wanted does anyone really think he'd have accepted it in such a rush? No, he'd have questioned it, asked for further intel, gone back to the sources etc. In the end he chose to believe the dodgy intel because it supported what, in his heart, and true his "faith" he wanted to do.

unbeliever Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It's Blair. He spun. It's what he does. Something in his brain that should have said "hang on, we're talking about war here, maybe cut out the spin on this one" didn't fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
