Neil was an early advocate of the 2003 invasion of Iraq , describing the case for war and regime change advanced by Tony Blair and George W. Bush as " convincing " and " masterful " . In 2002 , Neil said that Iraq had " embarked on a worldwide shopping spree to buy the technology and material needed to construct weapons of mass destruction – and the missile systems needed to deliver them across great distances " , and that " the suburbs of Baghdad are now dotted with secret installations , often posing as hospitals or schools , developing missile fuel , bodies and guidance systems , chemical and biological warheads and , most sinister of all , a renewed attempt to develop nuclear weapons . " He also claimed that Saddam Hussein would provide Al-Qaeda with weapons of mass destruction and had links to the September 11 attacks
