Since 1990 first Gulf war ended with all Saddam's WMDs destroyed. 2. It was known that Iraq bluffed about its weapons to deter enemies and keep prestige. 3.

Intelligence was known by US and UK to have been fabricated to induce war. 5. Jewish Attorney General, Sir Peter Goldsmith, made an ambiguous case for war which was never explained. 6.

I qualify this by saying not many Briish people know we have only recently paid of the mortage to the US for their help in WW2 with high interest. Part of this deal was tha instead of doing international trading in UK sterling, The US insisted that all tradng will be done in US dollars. So my friends yes there is a price for even friendship. This relationship has done nothing but cost us in the UK our global reputation and respect. Where at one time there was so much prestige reserved for anything British has eroded away and uncovered the lies we all knew Tony Blair was saying. This is a little scarey reminds me of Eastenders when a Lucas a religious nutter kills in the name of the Lord, and thinks he is allowed to becausehe is doing God's work. yes that did remind me of Tony Blair.

Perhaps the inquiry should be moved to the London Dungeon? And if you're checking out the committees' trousers remember this is on camera and could give the wrong impression!
