That is another propaganda lie, due to sanctions he was only allowed to sell enough to keep his people alive.
He would have sold oil to the Americans at a knock down price but they weren't buying.
Tony Blair is now Sir Tony.

oh stop the revisionism.
There was public support for the Iraq war well before Blair and his WMD.
When are you going to be honest and admit your real hatred for Tony Blair, which all to do with Irish politics nothing to do with Iraq which you don’t give a stuff about.
The above is the real reason for the Iraq war.
Saddam was a tinpot dictator, he was a regional threat to his neighbours but Blair inflated the threat from Iraq into a global one in order to justify war.
Israel wanted rid of Saddam because of his support for the Palestinians.
It has been Israeli policy to neutralise the threat from other states in the region that support the Palestinians logistically or politically, this policy is in order to isolate the Palestinians in order to make them more amenable to any deal offered by Israel.
You just can't accept the truth, you bang on about lying Boris Johnson but put Blair on a pedestal because of the"he won 3 elections in a row" ******.
Come on what’s the real reason you hate Blair.
You are delusional.
That is what you were led to believe.
Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
Saudi Arabia was and is the main source of Islamic fundamentalism.
The 9/11 terrorists were of Saudi origin.
Bush and Blair both knew that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, yet they both directed the publics fear of terrorism towards Iraq.
Why do you think that was.
I know Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11
but 9/11 was the reason for the Iraq war.
Why? Because of Bushes “war on terror”
interesting how you refuse to admit your real reason for hating Blair.
I’m no fan of Blair, of course he lied about WMD.
but he was a popular leader because he had successful domestic policies.
temporary success, which was mostly riding on the coat tails of the time, his mass immigration policy was not a good idea, short term it worked wonders and the middle class of the time were singing his praises, they had surplus cash and went out and bought houses the cost of which went up, and people made lots of money, wages stayed low, aswell as interest rates and inflation etc and then the balance started going all out of kilter, creating generation rent a bone of contention with many today..
it wasnt all bad for blair there were some good policies.. but not enough i believe to provide him with a title...
this is an interesting link, and well balanced in my view.

Why would Blair lie about WMDs?
Socialists ( aka Labour Party ) make good governments until they can no longer spend other people's money.
