Tony Blair and the Iraq War Part Four

BBC News: Reports on the latest witness to the Iraq War Inquiry, today it was the UK Ambassador to the United States at the time of the lead up to the War, Sir Christopher Meyer stated that the UK PM Tony Blair got tougher on the Iraqi regime after a private discussion with Bush 43 in April of 2002. One gets the impression that UK Establishment has decided that if any one is going to be hung in PR terms its not going to be them, thus all roads lead by to Tony Blair, yesterday we had the information that the UK was informed by sources that the WMD of the Iraqi regime didn't work, today we see by implication if not statement that Blair had decided to remove Saddam Hussein after a private meeting with Bush 43 in April of 2002. Thus what about his statements to House of Commons that the UK had no plans for War. As the Telegraph reported the MOD had started on planning in early 2002, in fact it was kept so secret that it didn't help for post war security for Iraq. One gets the impression in pirate terms that the Establishment is giving the black spot to Tony Blair. Lets be balanced here folks, what was the Establishment doing while the UK headed for War in Iraq, sleep at the wheel, the blame does not just belong to Tony Blair.
