And in the end I believed he thought that there was still some risk that Saddam had the weapons, that if he stayed involved, he could have an impact on the post-Saddam Iraq. But if he stayed involved, he could keep America and Europe, closer together than they otherwise would have been, and so he made the decision he did. I can’t quarrel with that; he was in a very difficult position.
Thank God---I really mean that---Tony Blair made his stand out of noble conviction and principle. Principles he has held fast to and eloquently defended.
I can't remember where I read it a few years back
But it was an article on how Tony Blair tried to get Clinton to stand up and do something about Saddam and Tony Blair could never get anywhere with Clinton, except for sending a few missiles over to Iraq
Blair's domestic policies I don't agree with .. But he knew how bad Saddam was and how important it was to get rid of Saddam .. and I will always give him credit for that
