Iraq - OUT - OUT- OUT Blair - OUT- OUT- OUT

In February 2003 Tony Blair ignored a million marching citizens.

It is evident from Blunkett's indiscretions, Clare Short's spurned woman's vitriol, Robin Cook's measured remarks and Michael Meacher's ramblings he also ignored (and rode roughshod over it) hisCabinet and most of his backbenchers (courtesy HM Opposition).

It remains to be seen if the remarkable, constitutionally groundbreaking broadside from the new CGS, General Sir Richard Dannatt in today's Daily Mail is dealt with in the same way.

Such sniping at HMG in the pages of the Daily Mail is usually conducted in an arcane code by ex-Generals from the cozy perlieus of St James, or broad Sussex acres.

Sir Richard's knees were hardly under his desk and he was pointing out the immense problems in Afghanistan.

Now he says, the jig is up in Iraq, we should never have been there, and now (3 years and 650,000 dead Iraqis later) he says we should get out.

Time for another march on the citadel.

...... or another terrist "outrage".

These protests were successfully defused by the kidnappings in Iraq, culminating with the murder of Ken Bigley.
