This very frank admition on how yanks manipulated the public on true intentions america had for isreal. Why dont Tony Blair admit to it too. He still delusional idiot says he sick blue face trying convince people.

Quote:

But his conclusion that there was no justification for the war goes further than his previous comments.

I always thought that there should be war criminal investigation to what happened. Those who faked, lied deliberately mislead should be charged and jailed.

Why we so much protecting these people. Many lost there lives for there little game. If we can trial nazi's after second world war crimes against humanity. Then surely those such as Bush, Blair, Prescott and anybody else should equally face trials.

Quote:

The Labour peer said he had supported the invasion in 2003 in the belief that George Bush, then president of the United States, had a plan to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict.

So basically politically motivated to remove a leader.

You do know question our involvement in other small wars are political motivated. I always thought they was but to get a government or previous government cabinet member admit it. Would be like getting blood out of stone.

At least on his part he come clean but blair keeping his charade. I will honestly wont be shocked if they admitted it was only for the oil.

I agree to extent but we surely should look at justice for those who got killed by this sham. How many british, american, other nations involved and those inocent iraqis families feel about this.

denphone I actually warmed up to him for admitting this. America need be pegged back they cant go around like this.

Whether saddam was good or bad for his nation we have to go through proper channels. Not lie mis trust its people.

Oh do we really want to go through the country's underwear drawer at this point.That's the way to let the present government off the hook for what is going on now.A way for them to bury what they don't want to talk about.

I've got no issues with either the Iraq or Afghanistan wars.They didn't turn out how we wanted but frankly I don't want to put anyone in government on trial.Those that committed atrocities in either country yes..not our government.It won't gain us friends in any quarter.

And we must never forget that thanks to Blair and his party we had all those men die for NOTHING. Blair and Labour have in my eye's blood on there hands over Iraq and they are getting away with it.

Deffo mate . Both of them should be tried as war criminals

Don't you just love it when, after years in power defending their actions and shouting down opponents, these people start admitting their failures after they've been booted out of office and are looking to get back in.

With all due respect they didn't die for no reason.They died because they chose to join our armed forces and were asked to do their duty.That's the agreement with the armed forces.If we think that way then no one would ever join our armed forces.

They died in a war based on a lie. Their death had no reason other than politics and oil . Are they worth our young mens lives? I do not think so

But Maggy they went because Blair lied to parliament and this country to get the vote that sent them there.

Were in the agreement does it say you'll be sent to die on a fools errand based on lies and to feather the nest of one of the main architects, agreements work both ways and If those in charge aren't going to respect them then they deserve to have no on join up middle east peace envoy, now they relly are taking the pea out of us.

I am not sure if they died for nothing. Iraq could well turn out to be a democratically successful country in the future and hopefully that will be their legacy. Also I am not convinced it was about the Oil, the Oil revenues seem to be staying in Iraq (another reason why Iraq could be a success). Maybe it helped increase the stability of the oil production...

I actually thinking this may done oposite made middle east more unstable been lots problem nations since war.

tizmeinnit well said its what I tried to say but you put much better. They died for there country thinking they was serving our country best interest. Now what we suspected been confirmed that even the No2 had doubts.

He still supported move because lieing yanks had motive for israel interests.

It would stabilise middle east

. Fact made it very much worse. In some ways similar knock happened in old eastern bloc which caused yugaslavian war.

How much was this ever divulged in enquiry.
