No Doubt
In a press conference in May, our PM said, amongst other ludicrous things (he bangs on about the two Vans-O-Doom)"I have absolutely no doubt at all, when we present the full evidence after we have investigated all the sites, after we have interviewed all the experts and scientists, and this will take place as I say over the coming weeks and months, that evidence will be found [of WMD] .And I have absolutely no doubt it exists... "
Now no-one believes any more that Blair didn't sincerely believe the intelligence put before him. But when Blair was told by intelligence that a war in Iraq might increase the risk of terrorism , a spokesman said,
""These are obviously subjective judgments. ...[the JIC] produce assessments and it's for politicians to make decisions."
Isn't it now clear that the PM judgement, with respect to WMD, was very, very faulty?
