If they had been tortured properly (as per the manual) the war would not have happened. A simple misstep of intelligence services. Mr Blair is vindicated I am deeply sorry that I ever doubted his word and deeds. I am baking him a cake as partial restitution for any damages my attitude may have caused him and his slithering nestlings.

I am deeply troubled by my previous lack of trust in Her Majestys government. I'm afraid I'll have to retire to the shed and load the last round of bud into the pipe. Maybe then I'll be able to face myself.

Op-Ed: Jean Chrétien was both wise and courageous on Iraq
Chretien's finest hour...

I have read articles which are opposing in view. Lots of damage control was put in place after Chretien said no.

It was a principled decision. The US accepted that. And, you'll agree it was the right one.

After the fall of Baghdad I did. And crediting Chretien with principles is not something I would agree with.

The US could have done Saddam in an easier way.
