WMD questions - Fresh doubts demand Iraq war rethink

WITH fresh doubts cast on weapons of mass destruction by former Iraq Survey Group director David Kay, it is reasonable to ask if the Irish Government will re-assess its stance on the war.

Despite lacking UN sanction, America had permission to use Shannon airport for thousands of flights carrying troops and weapons, including patriot missiles, as revealed by the Irish Examiner.

It would be interesting to learn if Taoiseach Bertie Ahern still shares the blind certitude of British Prime Minister Tony Blair who “has absolutely no doubt” the intelligence about weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to war was genuine.
