The Sidereal Record Straightener - Right to the end, Blair is a war-mongering arsehole

Interview on NBC:

Brian Williams: Would you do it again? If you knew it all today, WMD threat wasn't there, what was going to happen in the aftermath, no plan for follow-on strategy, would you make the same decision to go with President Bush?

Tony Blair: I would make the same decision to remove Saddam, yes.

Brian Williams: Did you in fact say to him, as was reported in the Bob Woodward book, I'm with you until the end?

Tony Blair: I told him I was with him once it was clear that Saddam wasn't going to comply with the U.N. resolutions. You know, I've never made any secret of the fact that this wasn't an act for me of simply well America wants it and that's what we've got to do. And I believe that September 11th was an attack on all of us and my own view now today is even clearer than it was back then.

He says he'd have still invaded if he knew there wasn't a WMD threat (OK, we basically know that anyone with half a brain knew there wasn't a threat, especially with the access to intelligence that Blair had, but at the time he was all "45 minutes to launch"), and then moments later says it was about Saddam not complying with UN resolutions. But he did, you fucking liar! The UN inspectors had to flee the country to avoid getting killed by your bombs, Blair!

And then, to twist the knife of power-crazed neoconservative duplicity once more in the guts of democracy and accountability, he mentions September 11th.

Fuck me, I think I may despise him even more than Thatcher now.
