The first official recognition that the Iraq war motivated the four London suicide bombers has been made by the government in a major report into the 7 July attacks.
Despite attempts by Downing Street to play down suggestions that the conflict has made Britain a target for terrorists, the Home Office inquiry into the deadliest terror attack on British soil has conceded that the bombers were inspired by UK foreign policy, principally the decision to invade Iraq.
There is only one word to describe my reaction to this news: Duh!
I get so sick sometimes of saying I told you so. I'm going to fix my Chatty Kathy doll so she says it every time you pull her string. Because even a dumb plastic doll knows more about how to keep us safe from terrorists than Tony Blair and George Bush.
