Quote:Tony Blair, Britain's former prime minister, said he did not foresee the "nightmare" that unfolded in Iraq and wept for the war's victims, in memoirs released on Wednesday.
The war-time leader repeated his conviction that the 2003 invasion was justified, but said he regretted "with every fibre of my being the loss of those who died".
"I feel words of condolence and sympathy to be entirely inadequate," Blair wrote in his book, entitled A Journey.
"They have died and I, the decision-maker in the circumstances that led to their deaths, still live."
Citing his work as a Middle East peace envoy and promoting inter-faith dialogue, he said: "I can't say sorry in words; I can only hope to redeem something from the tragedy of death, in the actions of a life, my life, that continues still."
Got that??

"with every fibre of my being"

I'm speechless! - angry, totally pissed off at what that bastard is allowed to get away with - but otherwise bloody speechless!! :puke:
