old news, i really doubt any serious allegations will come into the spotlight until the bush administration is out of office. i read about this as soon as it came out on the internet, mainstream news made no mention of it.

The attacks, he said, made it necessary to "draw a line in the sand here, and the country to do it with was Iraq because they were in breach of U.N. resolutions going back over many years."

Interesting lack of reference to israel, which if i remember rightly is also in breach over a whole host of U.N resolutions... then again we know whatever Blair says is complete bullshit, normally fresh out of Bush's ass.
