UK foreign office minister Kim Howells has admitted the situation in Iraq is "a mess."
Howells, who is visiting the country to examine the oil industry, however, played down fears of a civil war.
He said Iraq was undergoing a "very, very painful process" and praised how ordinary Iraqis were adapting to the country's changes. He said Iraq was also no longer in a position to harm other countries.
"Iraq as a mess, But it is a mess that can't launch an attack now on Iran; a mess that won't be able to march into Kuwait; it's a mess that can't develop nuclear weapons. So yes it's a mess but it's starting to look like the sort of mess that most of us live in."
Don't you just wish you could smack that smirk off his gloating face? A true Bushite apologist, if you ask me.
