poppet2 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Tony Blair's former flat mate, Lord Falconer, admits the Labour government were wrong to invade Iraq. I wonder if Blair will ever admit this one day? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/11692932/Lord-Falconer-We-were-wrong-to-invade-Iraq.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyM Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Tony and his lot want putting on trial for using the UK military to help grow the profits of his corporate friends and donors. He and Bush should be ashamed for all the carnage THEY caused in Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Bush should be ashamed for all the carnage THEY caused in Iraq. Yes they should. Neither will admit their failings. In fact if you dig out a sky news interview bush did a few years back he was still trying to tie in Iraq to 9/11. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact if you dig out a sky news interview bush did a few years back he was still trying to tie in Iraq to 9/11. Unreal. I remember that! It appeared to be desperate and simply unbelievable when we all knew that Hans Blix (the UN weapons inspector) from the Iraq Survey Group stated months before the first bomb was fired into Iraq that there were NO weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Even if there were weapons of mass destruction it didn't entitle the west to disarm Saddam Hussein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Push them all out of a Hercules somewhere over the North Sea? Seems fitting, why bother with a trial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hots on Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The invasion of Iraq was because Saddam switched to the Euro to trade oil instead of the "petro dollar". That didn't sit well with Bush at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcomer01 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The fact that the good old USA have proven their ability to become involved with soccer ( football to the rest of the world) on a point of corruption with Sepp and his cronies. Yet by the same token fail to take to task Bush/Blair being complicit in lies ,falsehoods and hidden agendas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet by the same token fail to take to task Bush/Blair being complicit in lies ,falsehoods and hidden agendas. If there's no limits on bringing politicians to task for lies, falsehoods and hidden agendas then go back to 1956 and Prime Minister Anthony Eden's murky Suez Canal adventure which without American intervention could have triggered off a showdown with the Soviet Union on one side and Britain and France on the other. Of course if you wanted to put him on trial that's a little too late by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
