Blair is sorry for the mistakes in Iraq war – level 1

04-11-2015 15:00

The West attacked Iraq. The West said that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. However, this was not true. The West was wrong. It was a mistake.

Tony Blair was the Prime Minister of Britain when this happened. CNN interviews him. CNN is a Western TV channel.

Blair talks about the Iraq war. He talks about the mistakes in the war. Blair says that he is sorry.

Difficult words: said (past of “say”), had (past of “have”), weapons of mass destruction (things which can kill a lot of people), was (past of “is”).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
