Gleam in the Eye for War ? - Blair and Iraq

BBC News: Reports on evidence by former Cabinet Secretaries on Tony Blair and the Iraq War, Lord Wilson stated that Tony Blair had a gleam in his eye when it came to Iraq, in other words he had crossed the threshold for War, and Lord Turnbull stated that the Cabinet didn’t have the important papers and didn’t know they were on a path to War. This is quite damaging evidence folks, Cabinet Secretaries can read the tealeaves, they know that the Iraq Inquiry will throw Tony Blair to the wolves, one can almost write the Iraq Inquiry report oneself, that Blair was going to war with the US from 2001 onwards, that the Attorney General was kept at very long arms length as to keep any nasty legal opinions to himself. That by the time the Attorney General gave his formal opinion to the Cabinet it was to late, the die had been cast, the path for War had been settled well before 2003. It will be interesting to read the Iraq Inquiry report, Tony Blair and his followers must already smell the coffee, will they mount a PR campaign against the Iraq Inquiry.
