Tony Blair Says that Iraq is Not How He Thought it Would Be After 10 Years
Shocker
Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has told BBC Newsnight daily life in Iraq today is not what he hoped it would be when he opted to invade 10 years ago.
He said there had been "significant improvements" but that "it is not nearly what it should be," pointing in particular to on-going terror attacks.
However, he insisted that the situation under Saddam Hussein was far worse.
