| UK: I will apologize for Iraq, says Labour challenger |
| 2015-08-22 |
| [AA.TR] The frontrunner to lead Britannia's main opposition party has promised to apologize for his country's role in the Iraq war. Jeremy Corbyn, the left-wing candidate in the Labour Party's leadership election, said he would apologize for the "deception" under then-leader Tony Blair that saw the U.K. join the United States in the 2003 conflict. He told The Guardian newspaper: "It is past time that Labour apologized to the British people for taking them into the Iraq war on the basis of deception and to the Iraqi people for the suffering we have helped cause. "Under our Labour, we will make this apology." Corbyn was among the 84 Labour MPs who voted against the war in a 2003 parliamentary motion, which passed with the backing of the center-right Conservatives. |
