Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook indicated this during the past week, while visiting Barbados as a guest speaker to the 2005 conference of the London-based Institute of Travel and Tourism.
"I never accused Blair of a deliberate lie because I know how the No.10 (Downing Street) machinery works . . . but that doesn't mean that Tony Blair was entirely honest with us," said Robin Cook, during the conference at the new Hilton Hotel.
Cook told his audience, of more than 300 British travel professionals, that there was a deeper falsity in the war led on Iraq by American and British forces.
There was a decision made a year earlier, Cook said, to invade Iraq and the British people were never told. "They were telling us no decision had been made and the year was used to prepare the people of Britain." More at the Barbados Nation News:
