no WMDs found in Iraq

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

The BBC are reporting that there no WMD have been found in Iraq and highlighting the high stakes that Tony Blair is now playing for. The timing of this leak from the Iraq Survey Group could not have been more apt, on the anniversary of that dossier, with the 45 minute claim, which the Hutton inquiry are picking over in such detail.
I find the whole idea that the UK went to war on a tissue of lies quite distasteful, but then Tony likes getting his troops out and playing soldier. Thousands of people have died in Iraq and the war has cost billions of pounds worldwide. The major international organisations of the world have suffered a great setback, as once again American foreign policy runs the world.
It is difficult to justify this war when you look at the destabalization that has occured in that area, the only benefit seems to have been the removal of Saddam Hussein from power, but the cost is difficult to stomach.
This Saturday there is a worldwide protest against the war, if you marched in February, then now the case for protest is so much stronger, we were misled and thousands have died as a result. Show that you want a government that treats its citizens with respect and is prepared to tell the truth.
