Blair Admits Iraq Invasion Has Been a "Disaster"

[Witling]

Challenged by veteran interviewer Sir David Frost that the Western invasion of Iraq has "so far been pretty much of a disaster", Mr Blair said: "It has." Daily Mail.

CNN (fuller Blair quote).

London Times

Try looking up "Blair" or "disaster" on Fox News. No luck as of 12:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time 11/18/06. The Drudge Report has it. Drudge Report 11/18/06 12:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, Top of Second Column.

I read that article also. Almost amazing that the only human beings on earth that don't recognize what a disaster the US invasion of Iraq is, are the 35 percent of the US population so brainwashed by a very effective propaganda machine.

Support The Troops

I wonder how stupid the people who say that all the time feel now that our best ally tells us that the whole trip was just a fvcking disaster..

Keep supporting Mr. Bush ... Keep supporting him for who the hell knows why..

Nr 10 is claiming it was a "slip of the tongue".
I have seen the interview (it has been all over the news here in the UK) and I must say it is difficult to tell exactly what he meant
Btw he did not say "It has, but you see " as CNN claims on their website, he said "It has....(silence) But you see what I say to people is why is it difficult in Iraq", i.e. it might be that he simply started a sentence and then changed his mind after uttering those two words .

However, I guess one could still claim that it was a "Freudian slip".
