My God!!   were surely not still arguing about whether or not Saddam was complying.

Leaked documents have made it abundantly clear that the decision for war had been taken long before 1441.
All the play acting at the UN was simply an attempt to legitimise the process.

This is a tactic used by a few remaining pro war posters on Mudcat...get the discussion bogged down in pointless arguments which are impossible to prove.

The bastards wanted a war, they wanted to prove their strength to the American people, they wanted control of Iraq and eventually the whole Middle East
They were wrong and we were right. They created a catastrophy, killing thousands in the name of America and Britain.

One day they should be held to account, often the crimes of our leaders are covered up. we just move on to something else and the past is left to the historians.
But in this case, the Iraq war....we have them...it dosn't happen often, but we have them;   and if we've any guts we'll try them, lock them up and with a bit of luck lose the key!!....Ake
