General Chat

I am a Socialist, so not surprisingly I absolutely loathe Blair. I shall be watching tomorrow.

I'm a Socialist too - but I'd rather have one Blair who got things wrong than 100 Thatchers who didn't even try to get things right

I think there's one point that almost everyone ( not just on here i don't mean ) is missing...

maybe Saddam did NOT have WMDs ( and the evidence 'suggests'...not 'proves' that to be the case).

But you can bet your booty that if he had been let well alone, by this time he WOULD have them and everyone would be saying "How could we have let that happen"....

Just my thoughts before bedtime :)

If he did have WMD's it would have been because the West sold them to him.

LOL susan I'm not bothered about somebody holding an alternative view to mine......certainly am not about to take it personally !!

I totally disagree with your views.....but then I most definately am not a socialist so I would do !! But that's politics for you !!!!

...back to the inquiry.....I see he turned up 2 hrs early to give evidence and went in through the back door therefore avoiding the protestors......

Hmm, well nothing new has really come out this morning. The perception of the situation in Iraq apparently changed immediately after 9/11. He didn't answer the question when asked what the link between Saddam's regime in Iraq had to do with Al Queda activities elsewhere and in Afghanistan.

He's admitted to making a mistake in a BBC interview with Fern Britten, in that he said he would have gone into Iraq even if WMD's were proved not to have existed, and that he had not used the words 'regime change' when he should have. But he glossed over that too.

He did say it was to deal with the regime in Iraq, and that the threat of a brutal regime WITH WMD's was huge....

They seem to be letting him talk too much, instead of asking questions !

Yep, they are not pushing him, it's all very mild and nice. I wonder if there will be some more pushing later in the day...

nudged for hoff x

watching it now TONY BLAIR At the Iraq inquiry

He keep talking about WMD
When is he going to get it in his head there where none

He's still not clarifying the percieved link between Saddam Hussein and Al Queda...or did I miss something?

No he's still not.

hes talking out of his rear again

TONY B LIAR

Aha, now we're getting on to the 45 minutes claim.

This guy is much more rigorous in his questioning than the others !!!

Looks to me like TONY BLAIR is running this inquiry

He's waffling ....again !

I did think that I couldn't wait to hear Tony Blair's explanation of how he came to his decisions........but after listening to others.......I have decided not to bother......it will all be scripted anyway, he has had plenty of time with his lawyer wife to decide how to frame his answers in order to come out looking like a good guy.....

.....I just don't feel like being wound up today, might throw something at the telly....

He's getting flustered...trying to quote but he's being pushed and he doesn't like it lol.
