Blair declared "not straight" with the nation over the Iraq war

[Judgemental]

Sir John Chilcot has today, declared that the former Prime Minister Mr Tony Blair to have "not been straight" over leading the UK into the Iraq war.

It's high time the man was arrested and charged with treason.

Let us not forget it was Mr Blair who enacted the Hunting Act 2004

Some of us knew that from the dossier days.

It's high time the man was arrested and charged with treason.

Or war crimes.

Let us not forget it was Mr Blair who enacted the Hunting Act 2004

Certainly it was/is flawed legislation.

i never trusted him even before iraq, a man who is only interested in his own career and making lots of money IMO!!!!!!!!!

Well how many millions did we waste on an enquiry to tell what we already knew ?

 

[fburton]

A drop in the ocean compared to how much the war cost. (And that's just the monetary cost.)

Absolutely.

The response was a slippery as any politicians. No he didn't lie, he just didn't tell us everything. A child's defence.
This is an intelligent man, he knew exactly what he was doing, and now he has found god, I hope he can feel the flames licking around his feet. Oh, he will ask forgiveness so everything will be OK. I would love to know how he lives with himself.

I didn't like Bliar but I trusted his judgement at the time. Oh the benefit of hindsight!

 

[fburton]

Millions of people in this country didn't trust his judgement, and many of us demonstrated to let him and our representatives in parliament know. Fat lot of good that did. :frown3:

Me too , I remember thinking about the 45minute claim that can't be right what does he mean , he would not lie about that would he ?

I remember the 45 minutes and I said to the OH, "good grief are these alleged missiles strapped onto CONCORD".

Willie Poole famously said, "Blair has a bad eye". Which means a horse is shifty

If you want to read it all in the context of the great man's Fox's Prophecy.

Which cannot be copied and pasted

Could one describe Willie as a latter day Bard? I always think he should be ennobled
