Iraq war revisited

I thought I have to write this after reading an article about the Iraq war and how various governments in both sides of the Atlantic tried to white wash  suppressing of the incredible intelligence; to promote the war.

In March 2009 I wrote a blog about the intelligence made at the time of preparation to go to war was false in my blog:

On 27th june 2009 I blogged about a secret memo about the meeting between then  president of US and PM of UK written by Foreign policy advisor to Blair, David manning. read in my blog:

Remarkable coincidence in 12th january 2010 it was reparted that netherlands cooperated with the war illegally after an unbiased inquiry. It was reported by BBC in:

On 8th july 2009 I wrote in my blog about Dr. Kelly, weapons inspector in Iraq. He knew that Iraq did not have chemical weapons and he was asked to leave the country while the investigations were ongoing. He was going to write his memoirs before he was unlawfully killed. Read about this in my blogs:

Now the similarity of Syrian civil war and Iraq war is clearly the same.But at the time of this blog we in the West has not gone and put our bloody boots in the soverign state of Syria. But check the similarities in this blog:

Last week a little more was learned as to the circumventions in Whitehall and Washington delaying the publication of the findings of Sir John Chilcot’s marathon Inquiry in to the background of the Iraq invasion.

The UK’s Chilcot Inquiry, was convened under then Prime Minister Gordon Brown, to establish the decisions taken by the UK government and military, pre and post invasion. It ran from 24th November 2009 until 2nd February 2011 and cost an estimated £7.5 million. The as yet unpublished Report is believed to run to 1000,000 words.

The stumbling block – more of an Israeli-style “separation barrier” in reality – has been the correspondence between Tony Blair and George W. Bush, prior to an invasion and occupation, which former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan finally told the BBC was: “illegal” and that: “painful lessons” had been learned. (BBC 16th September 2004.) “Lessons” clearly not learned by the current British government.

The communications, in Sir John Chilcot’s words to former Cabinet Secretary Lord O’Donnell related to: “The question when and how the Prime Minister (Tony Blair) made commitments to the US about the UK’s involvement in military action in Iraq, and subsequent decisions on the UK’s continuing involvement, is central to its considerations.”(Guardian 17th July 2013.)

Further: “Chilcot said the release of notes of the conversations between Blair and Bush would serve to ‘illuminate Mr Blair’s position at critical points’ in the run up to war.”
