Annan says Tony Blair was the only one capable of preventing Iraq war
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was the only person capable of turning George Bush against the 2003 Iraq invasion, former United Nations chief Kofi Annan claimed in an interview published Saturday.                 

Annan argued in an interview published in the Times newspaper that Blair could have changed Bush's mind because of the special relationship between the two nations and the two leaders.               

Annan said he often had contemplated what might have happened if "Blair had said 'George, this is where we part company. You're on your own'," following the failure to secure a second UN resolution.
