British Foreign Secretary admits 45-minute attack claim was wrong
'Now, how do I put this without actually admitting the truth ...?'
'Margaret Beckett reopened the controversy over the Government's dossier
about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction when she admitted
yesterday that ministers had realised before the invasion the claim
that they could be deployed in 45 minutes was probably wrong'
'Probably'??
Try: 'Absolutely knew all along it was nonsense, but it helped to sell the war'.
