Re: I have repeatedly condemned our support of Saddam, and my hero is Tony Blair and not Bush

I saw an episode of 20/20 which interviewed Tony Blair that I found interesting. I don't know the timing but I am pretty sure it is after the war was started and before Saddam collapsed. He said that if Saddam complies with UN 1441, there won't be such war and he can continue to rule the country. So your hero was effectively saying that the dictator can continue torture his people, so long he proved to Blair and Bush that there is no WMD or in other words, the only reason that this war MUST start is because of WMD, liberation is a convenient secondary goal. But everyone now talks about liberation to justify the war and finding of WMD becomes the secondary goal(if it still is). What is going on here ? I would say this is dishonest and you said he is your hero ?
