For the record, I don't think there was enough evidence to justify an invasion of Iraq on the WMD issue. That is with hindsight though. I agreed then with the 45 countries - mostly based on Saddam's actions in the past - admittedly a dangerous game.
Just the UK and US? You just ignored 43 countries. Are you a liar, or a conman or is it just "faulty intelligence"? I expect an honest answer.

mostly pissant countries and with special deals or dependant on US foreign aid so they had to support the action. How many billions was the US giving to Turkey to "provide basing rights" again?
I honestly don't know how you can recite this knowing full well most of those countries didn't do it out of any moral obligation but were paid off, under threat, dependant or as a bargaining tool with the US.
