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!

This is factually wrong. A majority of Labour MP's and a majority of MP's as a whole voted for the war.

Considering Tony Blair harassed Clinton to attack Iraq and Bush before 9/11 that really is poor analysis.

Tony Blair did NOT "drag his feet" because he went again to the UN. He did what he had to do to keep a consensus in his country so he could retain support for the US position, which he believed should be Britain's position.

You are totally misreading Mr. Blair on this.
