The only weapons of mass destruction in Iraq are Tony Blair and George Bush, SNP depute leader Nicola Sturgeon MSP said as she joined demonstrators in Glasgow at an event to mark the second anniversary of the start of the conflict.

Speaking on Saturday in Glasgow at the demonstration on the second anniversary of the war in Iraq, Deputy Leader of the Scottish National Party Nicola Sturgeon MSP attacked Tony Blair and George Bush for misleading Parliament and the people of Scotland about the reasons for going to war.

Ms Sturgeon spoke following an event in the city which unveiled the two leaders as the only weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Ms Sturgeon said:

"The people of Scotland now know the truth about the war in Iraq. They know that Tony Blair and his crony George Bush lied about Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction and used this as the basis for taking us into an illegal and immoral war.

"That's why he has lost the trust of every decent person in the country.

"Tony Blair can run but he cannot hide from the truth. The fact is that the only weapons of mass destruction in Iraq are Blair and Bush.

"I welcome today's event in Glasgow where people from every cross section of Scottish society have come together to stand up for justice and the truth. Iraq is a millstone around the neck of this failing Prime Minister, and the General Election gives the people of Scotland the change to deliver their own verdict on the evidence available"
