Re: Chilcot Inquiry Released
Haven't read the report yet but hope it covers adequately the reservations and concerns raised by both the military and intelligence services as both were very frustrated back then as the only thing Blair and co wanted to hear were worst case scenarios. Arthur joining the armed forces of the uk of course means you might go to war but when you do you expect it to be in the national interest of the UK not the US. You expect to be adequately equipped and you expect there to be a plan for afterwards, none of that was present. George bush wanted to finish daddy's job and secure oil and other lucrative contracts for the US and those were the only real goals.
Blair lied and he knew damn well at the time he was lying and committed the UK to a bad military operation that cost both UK service people and UK civilians their lives, that's not even touching the utter devastation of Iraq and it's people. He should be punished for what he did but all that will happen is he will go off and make a load more money for himself he's a ******* and a disgrace.
Don't compare Iraq to the Falklands as they have nothing in common.
