THE problem with George Bush and Iraq is that it is not a war but an obsession. He just can't let it go. He even brainwashed Tony Blair. What we have is not just a civil war, but another Vietnam. I'm sure, in the end, Mr Bush will have a total breakdown in health because of it.

We have had more than 150 British military personnel killed, and how many injured? Let's stop putting off the inevitable and act now. Gordon Brown has a chance to re-establish the Labour Party - and show he is no Bush puppet.
