That has to be the most shocking statement i have EVER read... he openly admits that war in Iraq was just a test for us...
Is he aware that this was more than a playground exercise and that thousands of people of many nationalties died?
This latest media goof by our Premier must be the final nail in his coffin surely.

How people view this statement though is a different thing because a lot are just going to say the same things as you, but we need to get the full picture of this statement first before we decide what it is about.
I dont however and never have believed that invading Iraq was in any way shape or form neccesary, I think we all know that the US was still hurting from 9/11 and failed to fully destroy al-queda and claim its top prize of bin-laden thus prompting the US into a 'we must hurt someone for this' type of scenario, and ofcourse Iraq was always gonna be top of the 'hit list'.
Terrorism has and always been a major concern for everyone in this world and it will remain so for an eternity, this however does not justify invading a country purely as 'a test' solely to prepare us for any eventually that may be forthcoming from other sources.
War isnt always the wrong option, avoidable war is tho, we didnt need to go to Iraq and Bliar has admitted this fact by announcing it was just a test for us, I havnt even tapped on the subject of no weapons of mass destruction being found, thats another story entirely.
Still, it'd be naive to claim it had no effect...
When Blair actually said it, '...weapons capable of causing distraction...', that was a great moment :^)
Lets face it - we have absolutely no control over what they do. When they were going to war, people marched all over the world to protest. Did it make ANY difference? No.
If nuclear war looms in the future, we won't have a say.
6 billion people will die simply because a couple of ageing men cannot agree.
How sad it all is.
