The issue is ‘Have you lied ?’From asserting that Iraq had WMD, Blair now says’could not run the risk of such a regime being allowed to develop WMD (weapons of mass destruction).
What a somersault!
Mr.Blair,would you invade any country because their ruler is a monster in your perception?
You can not expect anything more by way admitting the reason for invading Iraq was not WMD.This statement is more than sufficient to nail the lie.
Story:
“My assessment of risk prior to September 11 was that Saddam was a menace, that he was a threat, he was a monster, but we would have to try and make best,” he said.
This assessment “completely changed” after the attacks on New York and Washington.
The former premier told the public inquiry into the 2003 war that Saddam was in charge of “an appalling regime” and “we couldn’t run the risk of such a regime being allowed to develop WMD (weapons of mass destruction)”.
