IN Parliament on October 22 Mr Blair said "No decision has been made about sending more troops to Iraq."

How then is it that my grandson and his regiment went out on October 19 and arrived in Baghdad two days later?

He rang his parents to say that the Black Watch were already there and the situation was far worse than on his first tour out there when the "war" was on.

I have another grandson who, with his regiment, has also been told that they will be sent out for a second time before Christmas.

It seems Mr Blair either doesn't know what is going on or we are being lied to again.
