I am still here. Tony Blair was not straight with the British people he said the intelligence proved 45 minute threat that Saddam definitely had WMD he said very little about anything else. He also refused to publish our Attorney General's document about whether the war was legal or not including members of his own cabinet did not have this full information. Blair stated it was not necessary because the AG was at the Cabinet meeting and members of the Cabinet could have cross questioned him with the PM already deciding we were going to war I am certain the rest of the cabinet would not cross question the AG thinking that he would obviously already advised the PM that it was OK to go to war on these terms.
Subsequently he has now been forced to release the document which although not conclusive certainly indicates that the AG was not comfortable about the war and its legalities.
Blair majored on a dossier that was later found to be unsafe and was not even issued by the intelligence service he also inferred that WMD issue was proven beyond all doubt.
I 100% agree with Michael Howard and George Bush that Saddam had to be removed purely because of his regime, his breaking of the UN resolutions, the possibility he may have or would have got WMD again and the threat to his region which is the crucial point threat to his country and his people though bad as it is can never be ground for another country invading it has to be proven danger to other countries in the region which undoubtedly was the cause with Saddam. Blair however went to war purely on WMDs and immediate threat to Britain which was undoubtedly not proven so therefore Blair lied if you do not tell the truth or with hold certain facts you lie how ever you dress it up he did not give the British people the full facts so he lied.
Saddam Hussein DID have WMD's, we knew that. He used them killings thousands of his own people. Enough chemical weapons were found to kill a population of 500,000 people. many weapons and weapons programs in violation of the conditions of the Gulf War ceasefire were found.
The '91 ceasefire was continually violated by Saddam's Iraq and should have prompted the resuming of hostilities years before 2003.
Dictators and Tyrants cannot be appeased. They cannot be dealt with by treaties, they are dishonest and should immediatelyu be held to account.
Tony Blair was right, Saddam did have WMD's, he used them. Since Saddam was in noncompliance with the Gulf War ceasefire agreement the Iraq War was entirelt legal, and necessary.
Those responsible for the Iraq war being necessary are the United Nations, the nations and businesses of Germany, France, Russia and China who continued doing business with Iraq in violation of sanctions.
Tell me, what will Europeans do if the globalists and socialists have their way and diminish the United States from a superpower to just another "equal" socialist state?
I mean, since America saved Europe from the abyss of tyranny 3 times in the 20th century, if America is not able to do this again, who will save Europe the next time the forces of evil are empowered by appeasement and begin to march?
who? what nation will save you?
Tony Blair amazed me by his stubborn rightness!
