The story that won't go away

As the Obama administration continues to leave the invasion of Iraq to history, the pesky British who believe they were hoodwinked into being a part of it are not letting this sleeping dog slumber on.

That view, however, flies in the face of the fact that Bush resisted returning to the United Nations for further support to invade, and when it was denied he went ahead anyway, and Blair with him. Bush did so even though Saddam Hussein had agreed to let weapons inspectors return to resume their search for the non-existent WMD peril.

But the prospect of this pile of very dirty American laundry having to be scrubbed, washed and hung up to dry on a British clothesline is a scandal in itself. Obama seldom passes up the opportunity to remind the American public that much of the woe that that now weighs him down he inherited from the previous Republican administration. If he feels so strongly about it, why leave this airing to the Brits?

Inasmuch as our government is unwilling to probe the American-orchestrated foreign-policy blunder — arguably the worst in this nation's history — it's better that it is being done in London than not at all. -->-->-->
