A key meeting took place in July 2002, at which various ministers,
including the attorney general, were present. They were reminded that
the prime minister had told President Bush that the UK would support
military action to bring about regime change, so long as a coalition
had been created and UN weapons inspectors had been given a further
opportunity to eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. The
foreign secretary, Jack Straw, complained that the case was thin, not
least because Saddam Hussein was not threatening neighbours and had a
lesser WMD capability than Libya, North Korea or Iran.
