Britain's rationale for war as flimsy as Condi's competence.


From over at Voice in the Wilderness, we learn that the British government of Tony Blair entered the war on Iraq on some hysterically weak (read: non-existent) legal justification. From the original article here, we read:

Downing Street refused last night to "get into the advice process". The Prime Minister's official spokesman added that the Cabinet was given "an explanation of [the Attorney General's] conclusions" about the legality of war.

But Gordon Prentice, a Labour member of the Public Administration Committee, expressed amazement. He said: "We have been taken to war on the basis of a two-page summary conclusion."

Sigh. Has Tony Blair learned nothing from President Chimpy McChimpster? And that is, when you get a one or two page document, you ignore it. How hard can that be?
