It's one thing the rats leaving the sinking ship...but Con Coughlin?
Yes, probably the most pro-Iraq war figure in British journalism has jumped ship, and blames the dynamic duo in the process, but in particular (Matthew Parris is looking more and more right) the Americans, and the Defense Department (though I find it hard to believe Blair would have done better).Con Coughlin's own role in cheerleading this fiasco shouldn't be forgotten,and presumably some of his criticism needs to be seen in the light of political positioning. Nevertheless as he points out Blair has to take a lot of the blame - committing British troops in an overseas adventure he believed hadn't been thought through.
