MARGARET Thatcher has savagely undermined Tony Blair's case for war against Iraq.

In her first reported comment on the conflict, the Tory leader who took Britain to victory in the 1982 Falkland Conflict, has told friends that the war against Iraq was a "mistake".

Baroness Thatcher has warned that British troops could be tied up in a mission without end for years.

"Britain should never have been involved and it will be very difficult to get our troops out in anything like the near future," she told Tory peers at a private meeting last week.

She also believes a judicial inquiry should be set up into the Iraq conflict rather than the "tightly defined" Hutton inquiry.
