More Unraveling

It probably doesn't matter that more and more evidence comes oozing out that the rationales for the Iraq war were trumped up. Some people had this figured out from day one. For others such things as technical legalities are less important than the exercise of raw power. After all if WMD's had really been there to find, the current administration (hswib) would look like geniuses. Instead of what they really are.

"MINISTERS were warned in July 2002 that Britain was committed to taking part in an American-led invasion of Iraq and they had no choice but to find a way of making it legal.

The warning, in a leaked Cabinet Office briefing paper, said Tony Blair had already agreed to back military action to get rid of Saddam Hussein at a summit at the Texas ranch of President George W Bush three months earlier.

The briefing paper, for participants at a meeting of Blair’s inner circle on July 23, 2002, said that since regime change was illegal it was “necessary to create the conditions” which would make it legal."
