The truth about the Blair Govts' conduct prior to the start of the Iraq war continues to drip out.

It now seems clear that the decision for war was taken as early as the beginning of 2002, when Mr Blair met George Bush and decided to carve out a place in history for himself on Americas' coat tails.
This also served Bushes purposes, as it meant at least one other member of the coalition.

Given the position of Labour in the latest opinion polls, it would seem that the UK electorate do not fully realise the implication of these leaks.

We are in fact led by a group of people who manipulated facts and information to take the UK into an illegal and unnesessary war of agression, leading to the deaths and mutilation of thousands of innocent men women and children.

Either the UK electorate are extremely stupid, or they just dont care.

On the Frost programme this morning, Blairs excuses had shrunk to a simple, " Saddam was a tyrant,he had to be removed, I decided to remove him. Would you rather see Saddam still in power?"

Actually Mr Blair was wrong.
There was an alternative for the UK.
The USA had declared that they would remove Saddam unilaterally,so Blair could have taken the course of Harold Wilson, who refused to commit troops to the Vietnam war, although under extreme pressure to do so.

Instead Blair decided to "go for glory" in what was perceived to be an easy war, and in doing so made us all complicite in the murder and mutilation.

I find this issue more important than any domestic or economic one, and I find it inconceivable that some on these pages can overlook the crime that has been committed in our name.
Have we as a nation, fallen so low, that any conduct is acceptable as long as we appear to be better off materially.

Any who mark the box of liars cheats and murderers,should hang their heads in shame.......Ake
