CBC: the fifth estate - Act of Faith
Linden MacIntyre reports on the extraordinary coalition
of George Bush and Tony Blair.
In the months leading up to March 19, diplomats worked feverishly the
UN to avert a war.
Meanwhile the President of the U.S. and the Prime Minister of Britain
had struck a deal
that would ultimately lead to war.
UPDATE: Tony Blair
still defends his decision to send troops into Iraq. A British poll taken
in September 2003 states that 64% of Britons did not trust Blair and 48%
thought he should resign.
When George Bush visited London in November 2003 there were large anti-war
protests.
Both leaders are planning an intelligence inquiry into why reports suggested
that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destructions when none have been found.
