No fight. Just pointing some things out.
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Seems to me the oh-so-lame weapons of mass destruction casus belli will no longer be used. With any luck we'll be back to obviously staged border incidents and the like.

Wasn't that the justification for the war? Oh wait, we know most of the crap came from Chalabi.

· Falsely telling the cabinet and the world that Jacques Chirac, the French president, would veto a second UN security council resolution authorising war. The transcript of Mr Chirac's interview, which she subsequently read, showed the prime minister's claim to be wrong.
What does this mean? Did Chirac not threaten to veto the resolution?

He certainly did threaten to do so...

IIRC, Blair claimed Chirac would veto a second resolution under any circumstances. That was a play with words - Chirac only made it clear he would veto it at the moment, a qualifier that Blair left out. So it was a halftruth.
