Blair called on the international community to forget disagreements on the war and unite behind the terror engulfing an Iraq awash with suicide bombings and in the grip of the hostage ciris.
"Whatever the disagreements about the first conflict in Iraq to remove Saddam, in this conflict now taking place in Iraq this is the crucible in which the future of this global terrorism will be determined," Blair said.
"And either it will succeed and this terrorism will grow, or we will succeed, the Iraqi people will succeed and this global terrorism will be delivered a huge defeat," he said.
So, in other words, forget that we lied to you and took you into an illegal, unjust war. Forget about the fact that if we had NOT taken you to this war, there would be no hostages. Oh no. Don't think about those things.
