given the importance that you have placed on the lord goldsmith's understanding of the negotiations,where was he about to be more closely involved in the negotiation of 1441 as well as in the discussions which lay behind it? >> well i have to say i have more to do with peter cole smith on this resolution than i could recall on any previous military action that we took. >> resolution 1441? >> yeah, and i read what peter said now and obviously that is something the would be sensible to have the attorney general i think in retrospect it would have been sensible to have an absolutely in touch with the negotiation of a weaker because i think that we wouldn't have probably gotten into this attrition where he thought provisionally at least we needed another resolution because i think had he known of the negotiated history real time as we were going through it we could have avoided some of the problems leader. >> he would agree with you there obviously he is quoted in his statement a precedent where an earlier attorney general under your government was much more closely involved in 1998 and
