The British War Criminal Tony Blair is being questioned
Edited on Fri Jan-29-10 04:30 AM by malaise
about his role in the illegal invasion of Iraq as I type.

<snip>
He will be questioned at the Iraq war inquiry for six hours on the build-up to the 2003 invasion and is set to give a spirited defence of his decisions.

Controversial government dossiers justifying action will be discussed.

BBC political editor Nick Robinson said the ex-PM was expected to say Saddam Hussein had the "capacity and intent" to build weapons of mass destruction.

He added: "I'm told that Tony Blair will claim that the fall of Saddam has improved and saved the lives of many Iraqis.

"He'll argue that despite the terrible bloodshed since, it has been worth it for Iraq and the world as a whole."
--------------------
Sure it improved and saved the lives of one million dead Iraqis - fuck you Tony Blair!
