Iain Dale's Diary: Reviews the admission by former UK PM Tony Blair in an interview shown this Sunday morning the he would have still gone to War in Iraq even if he had known that Iraq did not have any WMDs, but he would have just used other arguments. This blog supported the Iraq war based on WMD and the the direct threat to UK interests, but even if we give that a pass, the post planning for Iraq was a disaster, the deaths of UK Forces and Iraqi civilians is down to Tony Blair and Bush 43. Thus if we give Bush/Blair a pass on the the war itself, the post War planning has to be looked at, and the lessons learned for future wars.
