For anyone outside of the USA and who was not Tony Blair it was patently obvious that 99% of the so-called <i>evidence</i> was a collection of lies and fantasy. <br /><br />There was no flawed intelligence. The US and UK intelligence agencies rolled over for their masters and invented anything they wanted.<br /><br />Watching Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei call Colin Powel a lier was most interesting and showed the complete sham that the argument for attacking Iraq was.jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-82197071753520435672016-07-07T16:36:05.895-04:002016-07-07T16:36:05.895-04:00Tony Blair belonged to the Labour Party, but one c...Tony Blair belonged to the Labour Party, but one could never say he was a true Labour Party member. He did much of the same things the Conservatives did, so what was the real difference. He just looked better than the opposition. when the opposition found some one who looked good, they went with him and we got David Cameron.

But as we know there is no justice for the powerful, and this wretched inquiry has taken so long, a lot of people have forgotten that war, and how awful and how criminal it was. Everything from the murderous violence to the destruction of Iraq's rich historical heritage, was an absolute horror show.

But then compared to Blair and Bush's crimes what we did in Afghanistan is small potatoes. For when you think about what that insane war in Iraq has done to the people of that country and the whole world, it's simply beyond belief. And while Bush can claim insanity or extreme ignorance as a defence, Blair is smart enough to know what he was doing and should be held accountable. Or at the very least muzzled so we don't have to hear from him ever again...

In the years that followed, the government ignored and avoided the information that Colvin brought to light, prevented an investigation into the matter, and eventually prorogued Parliament to avoid losing a vote of confidence over the controversy.<br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630890163958807048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-643846740150923942016-07-06T21:37:05.859-04:002016-07-06T21:37:05.859-04:00What about Rumsfeld and Cheney?
