Mr Blair reiterated his personal belief in the necessity of the Iraq war.

He told troops: "You know how passionately I believed in the wisdom of the cause to establish stability."

>>>> what canna say ?

Mr Blair said no democratic regime would spend billions of pounds on chemical and biological weapons when its own people were suffering.

>>>> exceptions being those shopping at Labour approved DSEI ? and of course subsequent UK governments who have spent hundreds of billions ...


If we had backed away...we would never have been able to confront this threat in the other countries where it exists

>>>>> who's next ?

Tony Blair
He said British armed forces were "the new pioneers of soldiering in the 21st century", defending the world against the dual threats of terrorism and brutal and repressive regimes.

>>> pull the other one

He spoke of the "virus of Islamic terrorism".

>>> seems to be catching (on)

Mr Blair said brutal and repressive regimes were developing weapons of mass destruction which were "a huge liability for the whole security of the world."

>>> did he mean Israel / US / UK and other similar despot regimes

In the case of Iraq, he said: "If we had backed away...we would never have been able to confront this threat in the other countries where it exists."

>>>>> to our right to pollute the planet by burning OIL

Thanking troops for their contribution, he said: "Iraq is now taking shape with your help and guidance in a way that would have been unthinkable a year ago."
