As Tony Blair fights for his political life, he finally acknowledges what the rest of us knew eighteen blood-filled months ago, tens of thousands of human lives ago:
The evidence about Saddam having actual biological and chemical weapons . . . has turned out to be wrong.
Blair still paid lip service to the world being a "better place without Saddam in power." But that's pretty much it. The rest of the island could dig up only a couple of protestors to try to shout Tony down, and only one was still protesting the war. The other protestor was more concerned with a ban on fox-hunting.
Fox-hunting . . . perhaps Brits, having to the last man turned their backs on America and all things American, will now become militant in their defense of things British. And perhaps they'll take Tony's word for it now, but I imagine that-- come next year's elections-- they'll remember who sold them out to the rudderless superpower across the sea. It's too little, too late for Tony. He boarded the wrong boat a long, long time ago.
As for WMD, it now appears that there's only a handful of folks left in all the world who'll even mouth the old, tired lies. And of that diminishing group, only one very foolish man still believes.
