I am still here. Tony Blair was not straight with the British people he said the intelligence proved 45 minute threat that Saddam definitely had WMD he said very little about anything else. He also refused to publish our Attorney General's document about whether the war was legal or not including members of his own cabinet did not have this full information. Blair stated it was not necessary because the AG was at the Cabinet meeting and members of the Cabinet could have cross questioned him with the PM already deciding we were going to war I am certain the rest of the cabinet would not cross question the AG thinking that he would obviously already advised the PM that it was OK to go to war on these terms.

Subsequently he has now been forced to release the document which although not conclusive certainly indicates that the AG was not comfortable about the war and its legalities.

Blair majored on a dossier that was later found to be unsafe and was not even issued by the intelligence service he also inferred that WMD issue was proven beyond all doubt.

I 100% agree with Michael Howard and George Bush that Saddam had to be removed purely because of his regime, his breaking of the UN resolutions, the possibility he may have or would have got WMD again and the threat to his region which is the crucial point threat to his country and his people though bad as it is can never be ground for another country invading it has to be proven danger to other countries in the region which undoubtedly was the cause with Saddam. Blair however went to war purely on WMDs and immediate threat to Britain which was undoubtedly not proven so therefore Blair lied if you do not tell the truth or with hold certain facts you lie how ever you dress it up he did not give the British people the full facts so he lied.

He has also misled (lied) to the British public on other issues he said there would be not payroll tax increase so he did it by stealth and increased National Insurance Contributions instead which is worse because this also affects the employer as well as the employee.
