Mandelson Memoirs Reveal Clashes With Blair Over Iraq

The latest excerpts of Peter Mandelson's book, published today, show how uncertain he was about Tony Blair and George Bush's decision to invade Iraq.

He raised many concerns with the then-Prime Minister, especially in relation to rebuilding Iraq after the invasion. This caused much friction between the two men; actually leading to Blair accusing Mandelson of being influenced too much by anti-war MP George Galloway.

What Blair himself may say in his forthcoming book about this, as well other aspects of his policy towards Iraq, will be very interesting indeed.
