So From that i can deduce that TB commited UK forces to a phoney war.

As it happens there may have been a little benefit from removing saddam from power, but then again, it looks we have another Afghanistan on our hands where warring factions are fighting to gain control over some areas.

So yes we have captured a dangerous man.
But we have killed plenty of innocent people, caused deaths of countless soldiers by going to war on false pretences.
Completely de-stabalised the Country.
increased the risk of terrorism on our own peoples both at home and abroad.
We also now have to face an "enemy" we dont know, at least with saddam he knew he would get a kicking if he was stupid enough to challenge.

For what?
Well the UK isnt going to get a reduction in fuel prices from cheaper oil, so I'm guessing that only benefit was getting cheaper oil for America.

So tell me, what are the benefits of going to war?
And befroe you say freedom for the Iraqi people, when they are not safe in their own homes because of warring factions then there is NO freedom. They are worse off in many ways.
