Tony Undermines the Coalition?

The magnitude of what happened in Bam was so overwhelming, it made it impossible to focus on anything but the tragedy that is still being uncovered with each passing hour. And rightly so. This one however, I cold not pass on and as an ex fan of the Labour Party, it just made me scratch my head in disbelief.

If I understand this story right, on his Christmas message to British soldiers, Tony Blair stated that there was 'massive evidence of a huge system of clandestine laboratories' and The Iraq Survey Group (ISG) has finally found concrete evidence that Saddam had make an effort to 'conceal weapons'.

Then a day or two later, the American King of Iraq, Mr. Paul Bremer gets asked about this new evidence during an interview and without realizing the source of this latest lie, he emphatically denies it and goes much further:

"It was, he suggested, a 'red herring', probably put about by someone opposed to military action in Iraq who wanted to undermine the coalition. 'I don't know where those words come from but that is not what [ISG chief] David Kay has said,' ... 'It sounds like a bit of a red herring to me'."

Now do you think Blair opened his mouth and revealed something he wasn't supposed to, or is he either so clueless or desperate to come out with such massive fabrication?
