I noticed they managed to get “disasterous offensive” thing in there but otherwise...not bad for a Brit paper.
It’s really sad that it had to come to this.

Hmm. The truth is that Tony Blair wasn’t that keen on the Iraq war either, but he did not want to put an end to the Special Relationship, which is, if the truth be told, England’s single most important foreign policy consideration. Blair liked clinton much better than Bush. He was a keen supporter of the attack on Yugoslavia, but dragged his feet on Iraq.

I thought Norman Brown would go the other way, since he gave Blair a lot of grief for his stand, but evidently he sees the importance, too.

They are not our poodles, but our allies, and if they want our support in the future they should give us their support now.

Is there really still a “war” in Iraq?
