PM Tony Blair admits at the Labour Party Conference in Brighton today that:

"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 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."

Now while I agree with Blair about the second part, will Bush now admit that the intelligence was false? What does it mean for him? Constructive answers please Smiley

Bush said this a long time ago.

What he also said is that Hussein had active weapons programs (proven true), the full capacity to make weapons (proven true), and indeed an active nuclear weapons program (proven true).

He already has.  Infact, if you watch the O'Reilly Factor interview last night, he agknowlegded the fact that there are no WMD, but a capacity to create them.

Tony Blair is the most insidious demagogue alive. Not apologizing "for removing Saddam"? Was that the only result of invading another country without provocation?

He's said it plenty of times. If you watched the O'Reilly factor yesterday, he admitted it then too. However, when he said "I don't know where the WMDs went", I know he's lying. He knows exactly where they went.

The war in Iraq does not have and never had anything to do with WMD or with al-Keyda. Cheney badly wanted this war long before 11/09. He will never tell us what were his real reasons for this war
