Blair should stop playing fall guy in Rumsfeld's war games

Britain is throwing up a stooge's smokescreen to cover US withdrawal
from Afghanistan. There is no need for such folly in Iraq

Iraq is miring all who touch it. What does Tony Blair say when he reads
that American forces at the siege of Falluja used "shake-'n'bake"
shells on residential areas? White phosphorus, as reported by George
Monbiot on these pages yesterday and confirmed by the Pentagon, is
worse than napalm. Since it is "chemical" in its effect on humans, it
falls under a ban by the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention for use
against "areas of high civilian population".
