Why war with Iraq? The influence the US government had with Saudi Arabia has long gone so the alternative is to turn its attention towards Saddam Hussein and Iraq with threats of war.

We know the war will not last long. The aftermath will.

Let's look at the weapons of mass destruction being mobilised to these areas by the US and UK and compare what the Iraqi regime supposedly has.

Most are obsolete and were supplied by the US and UK when Saddam Hussein was the good guy.

Iraq is a strategic area to house armed forces ready to repel or launch an attack on those who oppose US domination of these areas.

I say a vote of no confidence to Prime Minister Blair and his followers is due. We all know who they are and they should become aware at the coming local elections.
