Now that the Brits have issued their Chilcot Report on Iraq the normal demonizations have begun again…..but as one of my readers has pointed out….we all are well aware that the Iraq invasion was based solely on lies and accusations….not facts and reality….and as usual the media is NOT held responsible for selling the lies to war….not in the US and nor in the UK…….
We can blame anyone we want for it really does not matter why we did it…..we did do it….they question should be….what went so horribly wrong?
Denunciations of Tony Blair as the evil architect of Britain’s involvement in the Iraq War often dominate discussions of what happened there and many will look to the Chilcot inquiry to provide further evidence of his guilt. But the demonisation of Mr Blair is excessive and simple-minded and diverts attention from what really happened in Iraq and how such mistakes can be avoided in future.
He may have unwisely followed the US into the quagmire of Iraq, but British government policy since 1941 has been to position itself as America’s most loyal and effective ally in peace and war.

Will the real story behind the invasion of Iraq ever see the light of day?

No…..it won’t…all he was ..was the sacrificial lamb…
Oil…geopolitics and the ‘madmen’ who are well hidden at the moment…behind their wall of money….
Human nature at it’s worst….
Blair was just a link in the chain….follow the money.
Still, he is accountable among many …maybe in the next life..eh?
A sordid affair….
Politicians will protect there peers no matter how much they may dislike them….cycles….they suck…chuq
For what it is worth…

Thanx for the link…I will check it out a little later….up to my butt in BS right now….

Today I will agree…LOL
From the time he was a toddler, Blair’s greatest thrill in life was to a give a rim-job to every butt higher up on the ladder than he was. This was just another example.
True….lovely word…rim-job!
