Message: [QUOTE="PartTimePongo, post: 9075, member: 1516"] Blair willing to defy vetoes Blair says he would be prepared for Saddam to go into exile Tony Blair has said he would be willing to go to war against Iraq even if more than one country vetoes a second United Nations resolution. Downing Street has insisted the comments, made in a studio debate for the MTV television channel, do not mark a policy shift. Number 10 has also confirmed talks were continuing at the UN amid reports of a compromise deal over a new resolution. Diplomatic sources at the UN say the proposal would give Saddam Hussein a "final opportunity to disarm" by making changes to the proposed US/UK Security Council resolution. The UK initiative is part of the diplomatic manoeuvring ahead of Friday's report from chief weapons inspector Hans Blix on the progress of UN disarmament efforts in Iraq. Now correct me if I'm wrong, isn't this the same Tony Blair who said "We must take the UN route?" <<<<<<< Confused [/QUOTE]
