The BBC says:
Tony Blair is facing strong criticism after he said he would have gone to war in Iraq even if he had known there were not any weapons of mass destruction.
The former prime minister said it was the "notion" of Saddam as a threat to the region which tilted him in favour of the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
He added that he would have used different arguments to justify the war.
Critics have said Mr Blair misled Parliament and "tailored his arguments to fit the circumstances".
Surprise, Blair has come up with his (N+1)st argument trying to justify his illegal invasion of Iraq, given that the first N were shown to be bogus. Needless to say, Israel and Iran are as big a threat to the region as Iraq ever was. And the biggest threat to the region by far was and is the US, aided and abetted by the UK. So Blair's latest argument is just as bogus as all the others. Blair's big weakness is that he is a pathological liar, so there's no real point to paying attention to anything he says.
