NOT BURNING BRIDGES IN FRONT OF HIM:

Cameron backs Blair on Iraq war (BBC, 6/23/06)

Conservative leader David Cameron has said he still believes going to war with Iraq was the right thing to do.

In an interview for BBC's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, he said the war had been "very unpopular" and some bad decisions had been made since it began.

But Mr Cameron said "those of us who supported" the military action should "see it through".

He praised Tony Blair's reform of the Labour party but said he wanted the Tories to be "the party of the future".

On the issue of Iraq, he told Ross he supported Mr Blair's decision to go to war.

Nice to see he learned from the smackdown the white House delivered to Michael Howard--Iraq is not a political issue for the Right to use against Blair.
