Prime Minister Tony Blair is accepting the report that Iraq has no stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons ready to deploy. He is taking personal responsibility for the errors made in research.
"I have to accept, as the months have passed, it seems increasingly clear that at the time of invasion Saddam did not have stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons ready to deploy," Blair told the House of Commons. But, he insisted, "I cannot honestly say I believe getting rid of Saddam was a mistake at all. Iraq, the region, the wider world is a better and safer place without Saddam."
Michael Howard of the Conservative Party is questioning whether the British public would trust Blair's judgement in the future. This seems to be a question many people are asking of those in leadership at the moment.
These are the kind of issues that makes you wonder if those in leadership really have the foggiest clue of what they are doing. Scary that these people can make a mistake of such graduer and pass it off and just a warning to those who may want to attack their countries.
