For war against Iran. See her completely preposterous "opinion poll", recording what a happy, smiling, laughing, singing lot the Iraqis now are. Even if not literally or directly, this "poll" has been written by Lord Hutton.
In any case, none of this has anything to do with why we went to war. That was solely, and very specifically, because of the alleged existence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction capable of being deployed within 45 minutes against the British bases on Cyprus, which it was bizarrely presupposed that Saddam Hussein might have any desire to attack. Ninety per cent of Britons never believed that any such weapons existed, and we have been proved to have been entirely correct.
Hilary Armstrong once told me that the entire Government would have to resign if there turned out to be no WMD in Iraq. Well, tomorrow's fifth anniversary of the invasion presents the Government with the perfect opportunity to do precisely that.
