Any else interested in this? Apparently he will face a 6 hour grilling on why he made the decisions he did. Got a huge amount to answer for IMO, on why he took us into an illegal war, using false reasons, thus costing the lives of hundreds of young British men and probably thousands on Iraq's. Hope he gets exposd for the liar and Bush puppy he is/was.

is it really true what i read, that the apparently shockingly secret information on the suicide of doctor david kelly will be kept secret for 70 years?

both him and mandelsohn should be tried for the mans manslughter. because they caused it.

The war was illegal and if he'd been the Premier of a third-world/former Communist nation they'd be baying for his blood, i.e. a very long jail sentence in the Hague.

why did he need to be taken out? was never going to invade iran again, or saudi arabia, kuwait was safe from him...

why werent all the leaders of saudi arabia 'taken out' given most of the muslim terrorists are funded directly from there.

One man thought the war was legal and he was interviewed yesterday and stood by his decision giving Blair "The Great Escape". You would have thought the legalities of going to war would have been written down somehwere by now rather than it being based on a blokes opinion!

I wouldn't like him to say anything tomorrow Gazo, he should be put on trial for potential war crimes the same as anyone else would and questioned by QC's not the lot tomorrow.

lets hope some tyrant never gets a nuclear bomb because you would try to take him to court rather than go and sort him.
Report themover • January 28, 2010 9:26 PM GMT
I supported the war initially based on what I heard from Blair and co. but it was all a pack of lies. If the basis of going to war was to remove a dictatorship they should have said so and if that was the case what about all the other dictatorships in the world - why didn't they invade them?
Report bluebook • January 28, 2010 9:31 PM GMT
Hardly, GAZO.

Few would protest about ridding the world of a tyrant intent on using nuclear weapons, but Saddam didn't have any weapons of mass destruction, let alone nuclear weapons.
Report bluebook • January 28, 2010 9:32 PM GMT
And nobody denies he was an evil ** either, but there are plenty of them left in the world who we leave well alone.
Report GAZO • January 28, 2010 9:43 PM GMT
saddam was given plenty of time to show that he had no weapons but he kept giving them the runaround in the end it back fired on him,everyone thought he had some weapons so it was right to take him out.if they were going to build a reform centre for pedo's in your street would you try to stop it or would you wait for something to happen to a kid before you did something.
Report bluebook • January 28, 2010 9:46 PM GMT
The intelligence services said he posed NO threat and sanctions made it incredibly difficult for him to build up an army, navy or air force.

What have paedophiles got to do with anything ?

And why don't we invade North Korea, which IS actively seeking to build nuclear weapons ?

No, I'd use the intelligence services covertly, as the Yanks are no doubt doing in North Korea and Israelis/Yanks in Iran. There's more than one way to skin a goose.

The point about Saddam and Iraq is that the threat he posed was negligible.

Reyes is spot on

so do you think israel will want concrete proof before it bombs iran,they wont mess around like the rest of the world did over iraq,wether their intelligence is right or wrong if they think iran has got a bomb they will be in even if the rest of the world does not agree.

whats israel got to do with it
Report bluebook • January 28, 2010 10:22 PM GMT
If Israel did bomb Iran without concrete proof then it too should be brought to account, although I very much doubt it would. That's what pis-ses off so many other nations - the way that the US, UK and Israel can get away with breaking international law whenever it likes.
Report evingolis • January 28, 2010 10:27 PM GMT
gazo- you are clueless. give it up.
Report bluebook • January 28, 2010 10:34 PM GMT
GAZO does still raise a serious point though : how do you deal with nations intent on obtaining nuclear technology for aggressive purposes ?

My point is that in the case of Iraq there was no threat and the whole WMD bulls-hit was simply a pretext to invade for economic purposes, i.e. oil. I also think there was a revenge element - Bush Jnr was encouraged by Bush Snr to "finish the job", so to speak.
Report bluebook • January 28, 2010 10:39 PM GMT
Whatever the case, there was no legal case to be made for war.

what did Saddam have to do with terrorists though Gazo?

Maybe if they had sent the armies to the place where the terrorists were instead of Iraq there wouldn't be so many of them on the loose.

Iraq had no WMD , and even if they'd had some they had no missile capable of delivering it more than 170 miles , so London would not have been under imminent threat .Unless the Iraqi Army had captured Devon i suppose.

given that iraq only porduces about 5% at the most of the worlds oil supplies it would cost a lot more to invade etc than it will make from oil..
