Guardian: Reports the following on Iraq War, " MI6 and CIA were told before invasion that Iraq had no active WMD ".
Lets Get Real:
Thus folks the BBC and the Guardian are never going to allow Tony Blair to forget about Iraq, the mind set based on some shaky pillars, at its core is the opinion that Blair and Bush lied the US and the UK in to the War, that they believed what they wanted to take as the truth. Folks Democratic leaders spin, its part of the game, but going to WAR is far to important, Bush 43 and Blair were backed by Western intelligences in the opinion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, lets recall after 9/11 Western voters wanted action, they did not care about due process, they wanted to break the terrorist threat to the West, after 9/11 everyone thought that there would be another major attack on the US, and lets recall 7/7 in the UK and Spain etc. Thus leaders had to act based on the evidence they had, if they had waited you get in to counter factual history, that can take you down any road you like, its like what if President Kennedy had not been killed in Dallas in 1963, would the US under Kennedy gone in to a full land war in Southern Vietnam, depending on the historical record pre 22 November 1963 you can argue the case either way. Thus its an interesting academic exercise but does not help with the what did happen, Iraq today has it problems, religious violence, a 40% rate of unemployment, but its free, as even the BBC News has reported people are free to say what they like, and the economy is starting to grow, it will take time, but Iraq today is better off today than pre March 2003. This blog takes its hat off to Bush 43 and Blair, they made the hard choice, we in the West should thank these leaders.
