So that leaves the reasons given for the 2nd Gulf war to be little more than a con job. I have checked my reality and it is working just fine. Tony Blair 10 April 2002> "Saddam Hussein's regime is despicable, he is developing weapons of mass destruction, and we cannot leave him doing so unchecked. "He is a threat to his own people and to the region and, if allowed to develop these weapons, a threat to us also." Tony Blair 4 June 2003 "There are literally thousands of sites. As I was told in Iraq, information is coming in the entire time, but it is only now that the Iraq survey group has been put together that a dedicated team of people, which includes former UN inspectors, scientists and experts, will be able to go in and do the job properly. "As I have said throughout, I have no doubt that they will find the clearest possible evidence of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction." Tony Blair 28 Sept 2004> "The evidence about Saddam having actual biological and chemical weapons, as opposed to the capability to develop them, has turned out to be wrong. I acknowledge that and accept it. I simply point out, such evidence was agreed by the whole international community, not least because Saddam had used such weapons against his own people and neighbouring countries. "And the problem is, I can apologise for the information that turned out to be wrong, but I can't, sincerely at least, apologise for removing Saddam. "The world is a better place with Saddam in prison not in power." "I can apologise for the information being wrong but I can never apologise, sincerely at least, for removing Saddam. The world is a better place with Saddam in prison."
