Tony Blair making absolutely no sense whatsoever
"The information, some of it, the intelligence upon which we founded our case has turned out to be wrong," he said. "What I simply say to people is, that I am perfectly happy to say and should say, look, because I take responsibility for it, then I take responsibility for that wrong information. The difficulty is when people want me to go a step further, as many people do, and say what we actually should have done in March 2003, is to have backed away from the conflict. I do not believe we should have done that."

No, I don't think we should have backed away from the conflict either, because at that point we could not have backed away from the conflict, because you hadn't started it yet, you moron.

What we did have was a UN team trying to find out whether or not Saddam Hussein had gotten rid of his WMDs, but we forced them out at gunpoint before they could establish that he had.

And unless and until you can find something that Saddam Hussein has done to his people (hell, let's include things he did to his people that the current administration supplied him with the ammunition for in their earlier incarnations as his bestest buddies) that your allies in the Coalition of the Willing have not been guilty of far more egregious examples of, I don't want to hear about mass graves.

We've filled quite a few of those ourselves in the past year.
