Blair Says Iraq Weapons Secrets Will Be Publicized
By Mike Peacock

ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) - Prime Minister Tony Blair insisted on Sunday that Britain and the United States would unearth evidence of Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction" and make it public before long.

In an interview with Britain's Sky Television at a Russia-European Union summit, Blair said he had already seen plenty of information that his critics had not, but would in due course.

"Over the coming weeks and months we will assemble this evidence and then we will give it to people," he said. "I have no doubt whatever that the evidence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction will be there."

Months before war was launched, Blair produced what he said was intelligence that Saddam Hussein could launch biological or chemical weapons at short notice, in Iraq or at its neighbors.

That became London's justification for joining Washington's war in the Gulf. But weeks after the conflict finished, no such weapons have been found.

Hes taking some pretty heavy shit over this.

 

[Professur]

His voters aren't americans. They expect him to live up to his sales pitch.

 

[Squiggy]

Bet hes really pissed at Bush right now...

 

[Jeslek]

I don't think so, but if the people are that upset, vote for the opposition (Ian Duncan Smith) in the next election.

I don't think so, but if the people are that upset, vote for the opposition (Ian Duncan Smith) in the next election.

Sorry I have tears in my eyes, I couldn't help that... we'll be REALLY safe in Conservative hands... just like the other 18 years they spent screwing up our public services....

I question some of Blairs policies, but I wouldn't trust the conservatives as far as I could throw them!

sunday times has more sources that point to problems with the wmd dossier, it could potentially be very damaging. id-s won't get much out of it though, as an opposition that stood for the war and supported the labour gov throughout they will have a hard time backpeddling to get any mileage out of this stuff.
