"There is nothing there. There is a programme there. There was an intention of Saddam Hussein at some point to reconstitute it.

I will agree that Bush and Blair should admit that their intelligence information regarding WMD appears to have been wrong. Oh - Wait - they already did that and were roundly criticized for not being more suspicious of the information they received.
[/QUOTE]Point of order my dear Cerek - nothing diabolical,but just an inconsistancy that I noted when reading your post.
The article of origin (for this thread) clearly states (and requests) that Blair should depart from his stance of certainty that the Iraq Survey Group WILL find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
If Blair is thus so categorically confident then why would you lay laim that he has apologised for the falseness of intelligence that he still clearly believes in.
I am similarly not aware that Bush has ever categorically admitted that his intel was wrong. I think that it is generally leaking through that the stories look more and more unreliable. Not that I think it necessary for the leader of the country to say we got it wrong either - just pointing out that I don't think Teflon Tony or wee George have actually done so.
