With their involvement...

Is this sentence correct:

1) His 2002 single "Shoot the Dog" was critical of the friendly relationship between the British and American governments, in particular Tony Blair and George W. Bush, with their involvement in the Iraq War.

If the sentence is correct, how would you paraphrase the last part (with their involvement in the Iraq War)?
What does 'with' mean in this sentence?
'... and their involvement'?
'... because of their involvement'?
Does the comma before 'with' change anything?

Gratefully,
Navi.
