Re: Chilcot Report
The ridiculous thing is that every one of us plebs in the country knew it was all lies so why didn't parliament? I seem to remember protest marches by millions of people yet they were ignored by every political party, so they were all complicit in this and Blair was just the liar in chief.

Re: Chilcot Report
Even before the war in Iraqe started,Blair was in cahoots with Bush and planning the conflictHe even sent word to Bush to say he would support him .Come what may. He had no right to play God and the consequences were that thousands of Iraqe Civilians were murdered, and any fine young British men were sent to ther death as well .
He also took major desicions without discussing it wth other MP's
He is sorry for the mistakes but not sorry for gong to War on a pack of lies
.
How can this man sleep at night?
He has Blood on his hands.

Re: Chilcot Report
I think that this emotive subject can very easily become overheated in much the same way as Brexit. Now is a time for common sense and clear heads. At the time of the Iraq war the intelligence was not accurate and many people genuinely thought Sadam had WOMD. He had use gas during the Iraq/Iran war and also against the Marsh Arabs and it was thought he still possessed them and more importantly would use them.At the time parliament approved and, all though not quite giving their approval, but by not making plain their disapproval, the UN in their usual wishy washy way agreed. On the evidence at the time I and many others thought it was right to go in.
Now with hindsight we know differently of course but then, as now,, nobody knew for sure whether they deliberately set out to mislead opinion or whether they believed what they were claiming. In view of that they can only be given the doubt in my opinion.

The UN under Blix confirmed this and humiliated Powell when he addressed them about the WMD and they pointed out to him his lies.
You then had Blair in Scotland saying "Ok One hundred K will march to day but how many has SH killed."
When that March hit 2 million Blair was Nowhere to be seen Prescott took over for the next Five days as spokesman because Tony was

Rainmaker...This was not hindsight and I think If even you are Left or Right politicaly and not the Status Quo we came to the same conclusion.
The war was wrong and we thought that before it started.
