A long-awaited inquiry into Britain's role in the Iraq war will begin in London on Tuesday.
 
Military chiefs, diplomats and government ministers are all expected to testify. Proceedings are expected to culminate with Tony Blair, the former UK prime minister, taking the stand.
 
The inquiry's chairman has said he is confident of producing a "full and insightful" account of the decision-making process, which took Britain into the conflict.
 
Tim Friend reports.

  • I think that would be self evident. It is terrifying that a nation that fought (allegedly) for Freedom, Liberty and Justice for all - not just the wealthy ruling classes (as in Britain) which is still a Monarchy based society known for great atrocities (i,e. India, S. Africa, et al)

    The lie sold to children raised in the USA is that their country represents for all these intrinsic values held unique in the world and envied by all.

    It is like finding that Satan has more integrity than God.

  • @PsyogiBottoms

    Yes but in what way was it terrifying your not answering my question...What is it about Britain that you find terrifying, what gives you the right to assert the fact with no background evidence that your country is, and should be more honest than Britain?

  • Yes... I do expect my country to be more honest, free and just.

    But like all Great Expectations....

  • @PsyogiBottoms

    Erm...what about the British Empire? Except the British Empire basically doesn't even exist anymore...so then, what are you actually talking about? And why is it terrifying? You actually expected your country to be more honest, are you serious, look at your history that's all I'm going to say...

  • In my opinion it was completely irresponsible, and as a nation of experience and history: there was no need to piggy-back on the blinkered, materialistic views of another: their mistakes should have been theirs alone. History repeats itself, exploitation of countries like Iraq inspires hatred and the knock on effects endlessly speak for themselves, even if the cause is justified, it's their country - put yourselves in their position.

  • JUST LISTENED TO CLAIRE SHORT

    Natural sincerity beyond reproach. And more to the point, Claire unlike Blair, made sense.

  • Blair says the concern was that "Rogue States" such as Iraq would ahve supplied terrorists with WMD. Had Saddam supplied Al-Qaeda with such weapons they would have been used against Saddam & Iraq since Al-Qaeda despised Saddam's non fundamentalist ways

  • to add - "Long-awaited UK Iraq war inquiry to start - 24 Nov 09" is just the way the government like it - LONG AWAITED. The government always use time in the hope the public conveniently forget about how they are lying to us

    We Won't and Don't Forget ! Ever !

    Say 'NO' to NWO !

  • this country sure know how to waste money. We all know blair should not have got us involved with 'war' in iraq yet he will come out of this squeeky clean

    This 'squeeky clean' blair is the same guy they almost recently made european president even though he could, in some peoples eyes, be viewed as a war criminal guilty of genocide (not forgetting contributing greatly to the state of the environment too !)

    the mind and soul boggles at the idea of these 'trials' for show

  • The whole invasion of Iraq was 'pushed' by the Bush gvt and supported by the 'Israeli suck-ass' Blair to grab the oil in Iraq for US citizens who liked to live the life of riley on oil products sold to them by zionist Jews.

    Thousands dead for Israel for nothing to make Bush et al wealthy for this.

    Well done Blair - you scumbag traitor to the British people. Emigrate to Israel where you can worship the Zionist scum you followed to invade Iraq.

    In the UK, then you are finished for this.
