Where do you get this stuff? You are worse than American Spirit, who couldn't get a story straight to save his/her life! Blair said just the opposite: Tony Blair justifies the war in Iraq Tony Blair reaffirmed Wednesday that, according to him, the war in Iraq was "legally justified" He insisted on the fact that he disagreed with the position of Secretary General Kofi Annan, of the United Nations, according to whom the conflict was "illegal". For the British Prime Minister, "The war was legally justified by Saddam Hussein continuing infractions of the UN resolutions". "I do not make an accusation" about his opinion, the head of the Labour government clarified," I say simply that we are not in agreement with him on this point". Tuesday, Tony Blair had refused, before the annual Labour congress at Brighton (southern England), to "make excuses" for having rid Iraq of Saddam Hussein. In the face of international inquiries, his speech has changed: he recognizes today that the evidence of the intelligence services on biological and chemical arms in Iraq "have proven false". If he accepts apologizing for this diminution of stature, his moral conviction remain unchanged: "I cannot, in all sincerity, present apologies for having caused the departure of Saddam Hussein." He continues to be persuaded that "the future security of the United Kingdom depended on it". Of the current violence reigning in Iraq, he explains it calmly to the delegates: "the terrorists have chosen the field of battle" by coming to attack "the values and the lifestyle in a democracy". This somewhat contradicts the speech of the American president George W. Bush, who sets the invasion of Iraq in the war against terrorism. info.france3.fr
