ANOTHER ADMISSION THAT IRAQ WAS WRONG

In addition to GOP members of Congress, the current British Foreign Secretary admits that the Iraq War was a terrible mistake.

David Miliband says the UK would not have invaded Iraq 'if we knew what we knew now'

David Miliband has apparently contradicted Tony Blair by suggesting that Britain would not have invaded Iraq in 2003 if it had been clear Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction.

Mr Miliband made the comments during a BBC2 Daily Politics debate on foreign affairs and defence with his Tory shadow William Hague and Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrats' foreign affairs spokesman.

Later this week the three main party leaders are set to debate foreign affairs in their second televised debate.

Asked if he would still have supported the invasion of Iraq if he had known then what was known now, he said: “Obviously there would have been no such decision.

“Because if we had known then what we know now, if we'd have known that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction, there would have been no UN resolutions and no vote in the House of Commons.

Asked to clarify that Britain would not have gone into Iraq, Mr Miliband, who was a junior education minister at the time of the invasion, replied: “Of course not, because there would have been no WMD, no United Nations resolution, no vote in the House of Commons.”
