Thoughts?

I always felt a bit sorry for Blair, I truly believe he thought Iraq had WMD. But I don’t think he’s the right person for this at all and I’m surprised he’s happy to act under Trump’s instruction in this way.

Sir Tony Blair is pictured in a composite image with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The former UK prime minister and US secretary of state will sit on the "founding executive board", the White House says.

I did history and politics all the way back at university and one of the topics was about the Iraq war and the belief that Iraq had WMB. I had to research my essay using books, academic journals etc. and my conclusion was he absoltely knew. They were cherry picking the intelligence received to fit the agenda.

He’s an absolute ghoul. the pure narcissism of someone setting themselves up as a middle east ‘expert consultant’ after the fiasco of Iraq, and continuing to not shut up since. Vile man.

This about sums it up.

I don’t feel sorry for him. He was a liar and should’ve been tried as a war criminal
