n an interview with Al Jazeera television's new English language channel, the Prime Minister made his frankest admission about the continuing crisis in Iraq when he was asked by Sir David Frost whether the western intervention had "so far been pretty much of a disaster".

He responded: "It has, but you see what I say to people is why is it difficult in Iraq? It's not difficult because of some accident in planning, it's difficult because there's a deliberate strategy - al-Qa'ida with Sunni insurgents on one hand, Iranian-backed elements with Shia militias on the other - to create a situation in which the will of the majority for peace is displaced by the will of the minority for war."

I saw the interview, despite the spin they are trying to put on it I think just for once he said what he really thought. What a lying hypocrite. I look forward to him being arrested for fraud. The only legacy he will be remembered for is how not to run a foreign policy and why it is a bad idea to lie to the country.

looks like the rats are getting ready to jump the good ship blair

Margaret Hodge has become the first serving minister openly to attack the Iraq war after describing it as Tony Blair's "big mistake in foreign affairs", adding that he was a man who was driven by "moral imperialism".


Actually "Moral imperialism" is a useful term. Praise the lord and pass the ballot box.

If the present escapades of our politicians was a soap you would turn it off for being unbelieveable.

The nice thing about tv etc. is that when someone claims "I didn't say that" you just hit rewind and play it again. What Blair needs is to be transported back to the 60s before people owned VCRs or, god forbid, BETAs.

He's a skilled imterviewer that every now and then remembers he used o be the scourge of the establishment rather than part of it. Bring back spitting image!
