Blair is such a bloody wanker

Get a load of this.

London: Secret government documents show that Tony Blair was warned by his own advisers a year before going to war that there was no growing threat from Saddam Hussein and that invading Iraq would be illegal.

Confidential papers, including a secret memo from Jack Straw to the prime minister, say that Iraq had not "stepped up" its weapons programmes and that invading Iraq would be "legally very difficult".

They advised that the threat from Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programme should be emphasised to help make the legal case for war even though intelligence showed "the pace of Saddam Hussein's WMD programme" had not speeded up.

The secret papers, which the Independent Foreign Service has seen, show the government was warned a year before the invasion of Iraq that intelligence on WMD in Iraq was "poor".

So Blair knew, a year in advance, that Iraq likely had no weapons of mass destruction, yet he told his citizens a year later that Saddam could launch an attack on Britain within 45 minutes. He knew he was lying. He knew there was no credible intelligence tying Saddam to stockpiles of WMDs.

Nobody can tell me that this information wasn't passed onto the Bush administration in a timely manner.

I guess this article blows a hole through that "Every intelligence agency in the world said Saddam had WMDs so we had to attack!" bullshit argument.
