Blair faces biggest test in Commons

INTERNET, undated
British Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday appealed for MPs to back him in a key Commons vote last night by standing firm against Iraq as military action loomed.
Facing possibly the biggest backbench rebellion of his premiership, Blair admitted: "This is a tough choice indeed. But it is also a stark one: to stand British troops down now and turn back, or hold firm to the course we have set. I believe passionately that we must hold firm to that course."
In one of the most important speeches of his political career,
Blair told the Commons that what was at stake would determine the pattern of international politics for the next generation.
Opening the key full-day debate on Iraq, which is expected to last for around 10 hours, he repeatedly accused the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein of failing to disclose full details of his weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
It was "palpably absurd" that President Saddam had got rid of his WMD, Blair said.
In a 45-minute address, the prime minister said that regime change had never been his goal, but that the need to remove Saddam was a reason why Britain could go to war with "a clear conscience and a good heart."
Despite the failure to gain international support and UN backing for action, Blair said that the UN should pass a resolution, after the conflict was over, to provide for Iraq's proper governance.
He added that money from Iraqi oil should be put in a "trust fund for the Iraqi people, administered by the UN".
Critics of the decision to back the US in taking military action against President Saddam unless he leaves Iraq are hoping to muster an even bigger rebellion than last month, when 122 Labour MPs defied the whips.
Blair's plea for support came after the resignations of Home Office minister John Denham and junior health minister Lord Hunt of Kings Heath over the government's hardline stance on Iraq.
The Leader of the Commons, Robin Cook, quit the cabinet on Monday, insisting that he would join the rebels in voting against military action in last night's vote.
However, Blair was offered some comfort by the decision of the international development secretary, Clare Short, not to join the list of ministerial resignations.
