Blair Softens War Talk on Iraq
Prime Minister Tony Blair sought to downplay a looming Iraq conflict stressing that January 27 when weapons inspectors report to the U.N. is not a deadline. Blair and aides denied press reports urging delay until autumn, aiming to reassure critics wary of following the United States. Blix said no smoking guns yet, while analysts note Blair’s softer stance to maintain support at home and among Labor critics. Canada signaled possible participation without U.N. authorization.
