Emotional Alastair Campbell breaks down in TV interview on Iraq war ‘dodgy dossier’
Or: Man indirectly responsible for the killing of countless men, women and children feels a bit sorry.
Or: Former politician attempts to kick start acting career on TV.
I’m just disappointed he recovered so quickly. Had he had a real breakdown, with some sign of remorse, he might have been able to claw back some vestige of humanity. As it is, he’s still the guy who’s willing to forge the death warrant of countless people for a few pieces of silver.
The sad thing is that it so often seems that when it comes to the State, Campbell’s utter lack of morality and disregard for human life (all whilst continuing to claim the moral high ground) seems to be the rule, not the exception. Randolph Bourne was right.
Wow, that didn’t even look close to sorry, and the acting was terrible. Also I’m getting sick of the assumptive premise: that if they COULD prove that Iraq had WMDs that therefore it’s okay to pre-emptively attack a country whatever the cost in lives. It isn’t.
We have WMDs, what’s our excuse?
America sold Iraq WMDs, why was it okay for them to have them then?
