Chilcot report delayed until after election


Recommended Posts

No they don't

 

In order to prevent us getting into a pantomime style exchange ending in someone posting " He's behind you! " why don't you explain exactly why Tony Blair cannot be indicted for war crimes?

The two points under the bold heading crimes against peace would in my opinion apply to both Bush and Blair.

There's a petition asking for the Chilcot Report to be published before the election

 

https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/publish-chilcot-report

 

I doubt it will achieve anything but it might be worth signing if you have strong opinions about this

 

 

Jolly good, let's have Operation Fernbridge before the election too, then in that case

Well run it past us again, now that you've a little more information regarding what constitutes a war crime, and can see that Bush and Blair acted in contravention of the crimes against peace definition.

You're looking in the wrong place. The Geneva Convention covers conduct during war. The United Nations Charter is where you need to look. Invading a country because you want regime change is not legitimate and a war crime. If it transpires that the regime change decision came first and the evidence subsequently made to present a false threat (and we all now know for certain that the threat was false) then there is a case to answer.

The evidence that you don't know what a war crime is.

 

 

 

You would hope that people would not vote for a party that lied to the public, took us into an illegal war, caused countless death, ruined millions of lives, wasted 100's of billions of pounds, increased the terrorist threat and began a process of gradual civil liberties erosion. Unfortunately, the bedroom tax is considered by many to be more of a crime.

 

They all lie to the public on a regular basis

I will be accurate if it supports someones opinions and inaccurate if it does not, so maybe pointless having the report.

 

They've already said that it won't be fully accurate. I think the actual word used was, it will contain "gists". What's the point?! Might as well not release it at all.

UKIP dont,not that ive seen.

 

So you actually believe Farage when he says he won't sell the NHS in favour of an insurance based system?
