THERE GOES THAT INVITATION TO THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION...:

Blair: War 'an act of liberation' (CNN, 7/20/04)

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has defended his decision to go to war against Iraq, insisting intelligence at the time left "little doubt" about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.

"Removing Saddam was not a war crime, it was an act of liberation for the Iraqi people," he told parliament to cheers from members of his ruling Labour Party.

He said everyone should now rejoice in that liberation and work together to build a new future for the Iraqi people.
