Tony Blair offered the Labour Party a half-hearted apology at the Party Conference in Brighton on Tuesday. Amongst all the verbal wiggling on offer, one phrase in particular stood out:
the decision (to invade Iraq), whether agreed with or not, was taken because I believe, genuinely, that Britain's future security depended on it.
The facts counter this belief, and have been reiterated with each new report on Iraq: no weapons of mass destruction, no ties with Al Qaeda and jihadists, a nation crippled before the war by allied sanctions and fly-overs. I'm not looking for belief systems in my Prime Minister, I'm looking for someone who responds to the facts on the ground. Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?
