[casi] Blair on sanctions




A little nugget from Prime Minister's Questions yesterday:

***
The prime minister:
...When my hon. Friend says that we did not regard Saddam as a threat
between 1998 and the axis of evil speech, that is wrong. Precisely because
he was a threat, thousands of British forces have been down in the Gulf the
whole time, flying over the no-fly zones. Precisely because he was a
threat, we have had to impose a sanctions regime on Iraq that, because of
the way that Saddam implements it, means?I fear?misery and poverty for
many, many millions of Iraqis.
