IN the recent general election Mr Blair was heard to say words to the effect, 'Hey guys, let's draw a line under the Iraq issue and move on.'

Well, the 88th British soldier has just been killed in Iraq.

The thousands of British troops now in that country have to cross that line and put their lives on that line to do their daily duty, and I'm sure that they'd love to move on too.

Death means the end of a life, family tragedy, fatherless children, and the death toll continues to increase.

But that prime ministerial smugness is undiminished.

When will the mess of his making ever end?
