No he was correct. It was nonsense.
We should never have gone in. the evidence used was woeful and propped up by lies and hafl-truths. We have turned Iraq into a cause celebre for every extreme nutter out there.
Then we compounded the problems by creating a large disenfranchised group in Iraq and not having a proper plan on how to run the country afterwards. A vacuum was created which has been filled by the so called insurgents.
Having bombed the country virtually into destruction we have a moral duty to stay and deal with the problems our actions have caused.
And to compound that failure we also left the job half done in Afghanistan; meaning that having overthrown the Taliban they are busy fighting the coalition (did we learn nothing from the Russian failure and the UK's own failure in that country). Fuirther it is producing far more heroin now than under the Taliban, thus leading to social problems here as heroin becomes cheaper.
