Tony Blair, on a surprise visit to Basra in southern Iraq, has told British troops they had fought for a "noble and good cause".

The prime minister said Iraq had been a "test case" in the fight against brutal and repressive regimes.

He thanked the troops for their part in winning the conflict but told them they now had to "win the peace".

<snip>

He spoke of the "virus of Islamic terrorism".

Mr Blair said brutal and repressive regimes were developing weapons of mass destruction which were "a huge liability for the whole security of the world."





I guess Tony delayed his Christmas day visit so he wouldn't embarrass his boss. Oh well, at least he doesn't have to hid under the cover of darkness and prance around with a fake turkey in order to prove he's a man.
