In 2002, one of the most corrupt and intellectually limited USA president BUSCH JR and British P.M. Tony Blair made a deal to invade Iraq, UNDER FALSE PRETENSE. After the attacks on 11 September 2001, Mr Blair urged President Bush not to take hasty action on Iraq. By early December, US policy had begun to shift and Mr Blair suggested that the US and the UK should work on what he described as a "clever strategy" for regime change in Iraq, which would build over time.




BUT In 2003, for the first time since the Second World War, the United Kingdom took part in an invasion and full-scale occupation of a sovereign State. That was a decision of the utmost gravity. Sir John Chilcot unveiled his 2.6 million-word report into Britain's involvement in the controversial Iraq War today - almost seven years after it was commissioned. It's a scathing verdict on Government ministers' justification, planning and conduct of a military intervention which "went badly wrong, with consequences to this day".


 Saddam Hussein was undoubtedly a brutal dictator who had attacked Iraq's neighbours, repressed and killed many of his own people,







But the questions for the inquiry were:
  1. Whether it was right and necessary to invade Iraq in March 2003; and
  2. Whether the UK could - and should - have been better prepared for what followed.

Key conclusions | The Iraq Inquiry

  • There was “no imminent threat from Saddam Hussein” in March 2003 and military action was “not a last resort”
  • The UK “chose to join the invasion of Iraq before the peaceful options for disarmament had been exhausted”


  • Tony Blair’s note to George Bush on July 28, 2002, saying UK would be with the 
    US “whatever”, was the moment Britain was set on a path to war
  • Judgements about the threat posed by Iraq’s WMD “were presented with a certainty that was not justified”
  • Tony Blair told attorney general Lord Goldsmith Iraq had committed breaches of UN Security Council resolution 1441 without giving evidence to back up his claim
  • Ministry of Defense was “slow” to react to clear need for better equipment and it was not clear whose job it was to do so
  • Planning for post-war Iraq was “wholly inadequate”
  • Blair government “failed to achieve its stated objectives”

  • The legality of the war can only be decided by an international court

WARNING BY ARAB LEAGUE SECRETARY GENERAL AMR MOUSSA
Blair had told George W Bush in July 2002: “I will be with you, whatever.” … However, Arab League chief Amr Moussa rounded off a foreign ministers meeting in Cairo with a warning that a US strike against Iraq would “open the gates of hell” in a region already “angry and frustrated” at Israel’s actions against the Palestinians 
 
AFTERMATH
Sir Chilcot in his inquiry makes the following assertions by Americans & British Government executives who were scrambling to protect their asses, because they were accomplices in agreeing to INVADE A SOVEREIGN NATION WITHOUT ANY JUSTIFICATION. 

THEY ALL WERE/ARE PLAIN SCUMS!! here are their lying statements:

  • I heard Tony Blair say: ‘Before people crow about the absence of weapons of mass destruction, I suggest they wait a bit.’    
  •   I heard Donald Rumsfeld say: ‘We never believed that we’d just tumble over weapons of mass destruction'.
  • I heard Condoleezza Rice say: ‘We never expected we were going to open garages and find them.’

  • I heard Donald Rumsfeld say: ‘They may have had time to destroy them, and I don’t know the answer.’

  • I heard Richard Perle say: ‘We don’t know where to look for them and we never did know where to look for them. I hope this will take less than two hundred years.’

  • I heard Donald Rumsfeld say: ‘I don’t believe anyone that I know in the administration ever said that Iraq had nuclear weapons.’

CONCLUSION

Flawed intelligence and assessments’ formed the basis of policy on Iraq. Chilcot said ‘they were not challenged, and they should have been’. The judgments on the severity of the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction were ‘presented with a certainty that was not justified’.
 
The report was published on 6 July 2016, more than seven years after the inquiry into the Iraq War was announced. The report stated that Saddam Hussein did not pose an urgent threat to British interests, that intelligence regarding weapons of mass destruction was presented with too much certainty, that peaceful options to war had not been exhausted, that the United Kingdom and United States had undermined the authority of the United Nations Security Council, that the process of identifying the legal basis was "far from satisfactory", and that a war in March 2003 was unnecessary.

Sir Chilcot devastating report asserts with no ambiguity that this was not a blunder, not an error, not a mistake; it was an ILLEGAL WAR OF CHOICE: whatever the law decides, this was – from any moral standpoint – one of the gravest crimes of our time. Those responsible will be for ever damned. After today, we can single them out – and call them by name. prewar articles, such as “The lies we are told about Iraq” in the Los Angeles Times Tony Blair says he did not know military action would be disastrous. In truth, he was warned many times a disaster that bred extremism on a catastrophic scale.

THE TRAGEDY OF IRAQ
The 250 Iraqis killed by car bombings recently is a devastating reminder of the chaos for which Busch & Blair (the two lying B's) must take responsibility. Tony Blair says he did not know military action would be disastrous. In truth, he was warned many times a disaster that bred extremism on a catastrophic scale.

REWARD TO Busch and Cheney
laughing all the way to the bank … Both were given each $ 30 millions as commissions in off-shore numbered bank accounts by grateful USA companies which were awarded contracts for the rebuilding of Iraq !!





 Effigies of Busch & Cheney laughing and holding all the money they made.

FINAL WORDS
The tragedy of Iraq can best described by what Makki al-Nazzal, an Iraqi who was managing a clinic in Fallujah, who resumed it to Sir Chilcot when he said, in unaccented English:
‘I have been a fool for 47 years. I used to believe in European and American civilization.’
