SCARBOROUGH, February 9:BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair on Sunday branded Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein ``a man without moral scruple,'' a dictator who had enough chemical weapons to annihilate mankind.Blair, back in Britain after a four-day visit to Washington, hinted that a military strike against Iraq might be difficult to avoid.
``The UK like everyone else wants the current crisis resolved by diplomatic means,'' he said at a Labour Party meeting in Scarborough. ``But we have to be realistic about the nature of the man we are dealing with. Saddam has lied and cheated at every turn. He is a man without moral scruple."
