The Iraq-Neocon Test

Beyond the "WMD/45 minutes" drivel that no one, including those who spouted it, believed for one minute and which Blair himself has now said on television was a pack of lies, the only arguments for the Iraq War were and are neoconservative ones, and that position could not have led anyone to oppose that war.

Any neocon must have supported that war, as I am not aware that anyone disputes. And anyone who supported that war must, at least at that time, have been a neocon. The position that one took, and takes, on the Iraq War is the infallible indicator of one's neoconservatism or otherwise.

Still, they are having a bad week. Imagine what the wholly discredited and humiliated Michael Gove must long to write in The Times about Theresa May's latest announcement. Soon, he will be free to do exactly that. But not just yet.

Instead, he has to leave the defence of the Pass Laws to the organisation ridiculously still purporting to be the Labour Party.
