Sir Menzies Campbell

"Going to war isn't just an act of faith"

Responding to the Prime Minister's comments in his interview with Michael Parkinson, Sir Menzies Campbell MP, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, said "Going to war isn't just an act of faith; it requires rigorous analysis of the legality of doing so, the likelihood of success, the number of possible casualties, and the long term consequences."

"My complaint of the Prime Minister is that, while he may have believed what he was doing was right, the prospectus for military action was flawed."
