FICTIONS PULPED
Michael Gove says it is high time to dispell three fictions about this war:
The first is the allegation, peddled by Charles Kennedy and Robin Cook among others, that Britain and America armed Saddam’s tyranny. The second piece of nonsense is the notion that targeting Baghdad was somehow a “diversion†from the war on terrorism. The third canard overdue for stuffing is the argument that we must now show “evenhandedness†by enforcing UN resolutions against Israel, just as we have against Iraq.
He does a pretty good job with all three.
