Blair Admits Iraq is a Disaster

Via The Independent:

In an interview with Al Jazeera television's new English language channel, the Prime Minister made his frankest admission about the continuing crisis in Iraq when he was asked by Sir David Frost whether the western intervention had "so far been pretty much of a disaster".

He responded: "It has, but you see what I say to people is why is it difficult in Iraq? It's not difficult because of some accident in planning, it's difficult because there's a deliberate strategy - al-Qa'ida with Sunni insurgents on one hand, Iranian-backed elements with Shia militias on the other - to create a situation in which the will of the majority for peace is displaced by the will of the minority for war."

If Bush hadn't lied about the intel...
If Blair hadn't been his sockpuppet...
If both of them actually had done some proper planning...
All of those insurgents wouldn't even be an issue.

Who does he think he's fooling?
And what is the coalition's 'deliberate strategy' besides staying the course while more people die?
