PressTV... The Labour Party Leadership front-runner says he will apologize for the unpopular Iraq war on behalf of the Labour if he is elected as the leader of the party.
Corbyn also said he would apologize to the British people for the “deception” in the runup to the 2003 invasion and to the Iraqi people for their suffering, The Guardian reported.
Blair has already resisted calls to make a public apology over the Iraq war.
The planned apology is seen as part of efforts to win back support of Labour Party members who left the party over were sidelined as a result of the controversial decision by Blair’s Labour government to join the unpopular war.
Corbyn has said the Labour Party needs to form a coalition with anti-war parties to win 2020 elections.

But will Corbyn identify the devil who made Britain co-sponsor the Iraq war? I'd be cautious about someone with two "y's" in his name.
