I had promised Swami a while back that I’d give proof of how Saddam has been playing a game of deception. Tony Blair laid it out very well in his speech to the House of Commons. Here is some more evidence.

By the way, I watched Blair’s speech on BBC. He is everything that Bush isn’t. He is intelligent where Bush is dumb. He is articulate where Bush is tongue-tied. The amount of irony he could infuse into the phrase “full and final declaration” (of Saddam’s weapons) had to be heard to be believed.
Those who oppose the war because Bush is dumb should, in the interest of consistency, support it because Blair is smart. Though I must agree that it would be a strange sort of consistency.
