Stunning words from the British PM, who essentially told a war inquiry that war was the right thing to do, even though he didn't know much about it. Top notch insolence right there ladies and gentlemen. Bravo Mr. Brown.
See what he did there? He defended Tony Blair by saying the war was the right thing and then tried to limit his involvement in the savagely unpopular affair by playing dumb. Which, when you bear in mind that Mr. Brown was chancellor at the time, probably wasn't the cleverest way to go about things, considering it was him who essentially PAID for the bloodbath that ensued.
Way to tighten the pursestrings there Gordo. Nice job. Next time you feel like whoring out your country to the whims of your chums, at least get a solid proposal on your desk. Or a powerpoint presentation. Just a bit of effort, that's all we ask.
