What part of the fact Blair is a member of Labour that did not support the war did they not understand or the fact that Labour seems to be in love with the EU concept? I quit the thread last night because I was totally irritated.

Labour Party did support the war in Iraq. If they didn't it would never have passed through Parliament.

As for the EU the Labour Party has it's divisions on the EU too.

Blair dragged his feet on Iraq and made us go back to the UN.

Blair has many faults but not supporting America in Iraq is certainly not one of them. In fact to say otherwise is insane political analysis.

I watched those debates in the House of Commons very closely and I saw more genuine support coming from Tories than Labour. In fact, a coalition passed the bill not either Party. Tories in the debates had more of Blair's backside on Iraq then did some of his own Labour Party. Blair and Straw were pretty much out on the plank from a lot of Labour. Some of the women against the war were some of the more disagreeable people I have heard speak not to mention some of the men from Labour who were opposed. Did you watch the debates in the House of Commons?

Blair did drag his feet -- that's a fact and demanded we go back to the UN once again which caused the long delay that put us into a poor weather situation.

That's history!
