Tony Blair's dossier on Iraq asserts - supposedly originally - that Saddam Hussein has been trawling mainly unnamed African states for weapons-grade uranium and has more than 20 Scud missiles.
Before September 11 made the US lose all rational sense to vengeance, it had already admitted exaggerating the effectiveness of Saddam's Scuds against Israel in the Gulf War.
They were so weakly fuelled none hit its target. Israel, not Saddam, first bought weapons-grade uranium, from South Africa.
What a disgrace that we have a premier prepared to sign up for such trash in aid of a US oilman's presidential dynasty ambition. I ask Mr Blair to remember Clement Attlee.
When President Truman threatened to nuke China in the Korean war, Attlee publicly rebuked him for going way beyond UN authority and successfully dissuaded him from such folly.
Yet we see Mr Blair's undemocratically appointed operatives trying to silence all debate on Iraq at Blackpool, save for this tendentiously worded dossier.
