Tony Blair and Iraq

The Independent: Reports that some anti Iraq War MPs want the former UK Tony Blair to be recalled to the Iraq Inquiry to answer questions on recent released secret documents that show the evolution of the legal opinion for going to War in Iraq. This is good news for the Coalition Government, it places the Labour Party in having to defend his former leader Tony Blair. Also as long as the Iraq inquiry is on it allows Iraq to be in the news, thus a twin problem for the Labour Party, it has to defend its management of the economy and for taking the UK in to war in 2003. The content of the documents had been in the public eye for some time but to see the documents and how in many respects it can be postulated that the Government Lawyers had pressure placed on them to change their minds from supporting a new resolution for War to saying that it was not needed, as to recalling Tony Blair would be of any use that is up to debate, as he stated in an interview before the Inquiry he would have used a different argument if not WMD for going to war if he had too. The War was on folks, WMD was fig leave. Lets be clear folks this blog supported the War if not the aftermath, but don’t treat the voter as fools, that is hubris that even this blog can not and will not support.
