Britain
Blair to testify on Iraq war Jan. 29
2010-01-19
BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will give his highly anticipated testimony to an inquiry into the Iraq war next week, the panel said on Monday.
Give 'em hell, Tony ...
“Blair, whose popularity was hurt by his decision to have Britain join the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, will face several hours of questioning at the five-person tribunal Jan. 29,' the Washington Post said.

The inquiry was commissioned by Blair's successor as prime minister, Gordon Brown. It is examining the case made to Parliament and the public to join the war, along with errors in planning.

“Blair is likely to be questioned about his government's use of intelligence that was later found to be flawed, and about accusations that he offered President George W. Bush backing for an invasion as early as April 2002 - a year before legislators approved Britain's involvement,' the newspaper noted.
