British pols turning on one another
Via UK Daily Mail (January 22, 2010):
Jack Straw denounced Tony Blair’s slavish backing for President Bush over the Iraq War yesterday and revealed a deep split on whether regime change to topple Saddam Hussein was legal.
The former Foreign Secretary told the Iraq Inquiry that, unlike Mr Blair, he would not have written cosy letters to the U.S. President promising that Britain would ‘be there’ when America went to war.
In an explosive day of evidence, Mr Straw said the dodgy Downing Street dossier was an ‘error’ that has ‘haunted us ever since’.
