블레어는 미국에는 이라크를 위한 전후 계획이 없었다는 것을 알고 있었다
일요일, 2007년 6월 제 17
? PM는 혼돈 공포에도 불구하고 부대를 투입했다 Nicholas 와트, 정치적인 편집자 토니 블레어는 워싱톤이 국가의 전후 개조를 위한 충분한 준비에게 만들지 못했었던 가득 차있는 지식에 있는 이라크에 있는 전투에 영국 부대를 투입하는 것을 동의했다. 블레어가 Downing Street에 있는 그의 마지막 가득 차있는 주에 진입하는 때 오는 전쟁을 위한 혼돈된 준비의 통렬한 계정에서는, 중요한 아니오 10 측근은 및 블레어의 친구는 국무총리를 반복적으로 계시하고 실패하 백악관을 가진 그의 우려를 제기했다. 그는 또한 브리튼은' 다른 어떤 방법'를 도울 수 있었다는 것을 비록 George Bush 대통령이 개인으로 말했더라도 충돌에 부대를 투입하는 것을 동의했다. Downing Street에 있는 블레어의 십년간에 관하여 2 부분 채널 4 기록물에서 노출은, 2003년에 전쟁의 때에, 그가 전후 계획으로 만족되었다 블레어의 공중 보험에 관하여 제기할 것이다. 프로그램에 있는 가장 뜻깊은 면접시험의 한에서는, 준비가 부적당했다는 것을 그러나 말해 더 많은 것을 하기 위하여 그가 무력했다는 것을 국무총리가 알고 있었다고 피터 Mandelson는 말한다. `는 명백하게 주의 더 우리가 한 번 할 무엇을 지불되었음에 계획에, 일어나고 사담 비틀거렸었던,' 기록물을 선물하는 Mandelson는 관찰자의 주요한 정치적인 해설자를 말한다, 앤드류 Rawnsley이었었던 무엇에 후에 틀림없다. `그러나 나는 그를 당시에 밝히는 기억한다: "보기, 당신은 알고 있다, 나는 모두를 할 수 없다. 저것은 주요하게 우리 것 는 아니고 미국의 책임 이다. " `Mandelson는 그 때 그의 친구를 강평한다: 잘 `, 나는 우리가 지금 본다, 충분히 좋지 않았다는 것을.' 두려워한다. 프로그램이 그들의 비판을 변호했다는 것을 결과의 조금 생각을 가진 Saddam Hussein를 전복하기 위하여 펜타곤은 짧고, 예리한 공세를 계획했다는 것을 오랫동안 주장한 지난 밤에 주장되는 전쟁의 상대. Menzies 켐프벨 의 자유 민주당원 지도자 각하는, 관찰자를 말했다: 국무총리가 준비의 부적임과에 대해 인식하고 있 를 위한 `는 이 솔직한 입하 포스트 투쟁한다 이라크이다 통렬한 기소.' 블레어의 전쟁의 때에 고위 외교 문제 고문관은 블레어가 전쟁의 상대가 제기한 정확한 이슈에' 운동된 `이었다 확실히 한다. 대사 데비드 Manning 각하는, 지금 워싱톤에 브리튼의, 말한다: ‘It’s hard to know exactly what happened over the post-war planning. I can only say that I remember the PM raising this many months before the war began. He was very exercised about it.’ Manning reveals that Blair was so concerned that he sent him to Washington in March 2002, a full year before the invasion. Manning recalls: ‘The difficulties the Prime Minister had in mind were particularly, how difficult was this operation going to be? If they did decide to intervene, what would it be like on the ground? How would you do it? What would the reaction be if you did it, what would happen on the morning after? ‘All these issues needed to be thrashed out. It wasn’t to say that they weren’t thinking about them, but I didn’t see the evidence at that stage that these things had been thoroughly rehearsed and thoroughly thought through.’ On his return to London, Manning wrote a highly-critical secret memo to Blair. ‘I think there is a real risk that the [Bush] administration underestimates the difficulties,’ it said. ‘They may agree that failure isn’t an option, but this does not mean that they will avoid it.’ Within a year Britain lost any hope of a proper reconstruction in Iraq when post-war planning was handed to the Pentagon at the beginning of 2003. Sir Jeremy Greenstock, Britain’s envoy to the postwar administration in Baghdad, confirms that Blair was in despair. ‘There were moments of throwing his hands in the air: “What can we do?” He was tearing his hair over some of the deficiencies.’ The failure to prepare meant that Iraq quickly fell apart. Greenstock adds: ‘I just felt it was slipping away from us really, from the beginning. There was no security force controlling the streets. There was no police force to speak of.’ The revelation that Blair was ‘exercised’ in private will raise questions about his public assurances. The former Labour leader, Neil Kinnock, told the programme he was given a personal assurance by Blair that he was satisfied by the preparations. ‘I said to Tony, are you certain?’ Kinnock told the programme. ‘And when he said: “I’m sure,” that was a good enough reassurance.’ Condoleezza Rice, then Bush’s national security adviser, confirms that the President offered Blair a way out. Bush told Blair: ‘Perhaps there’s some other way that Britain can be involved.’ Blair replied: ‘No, I’m with you.’ ? The Rise and Fall of Tony Blair will be screened on Channel 4 next Saturday.
