The Chilcot inquest into the Iraq War has provided ample opportunity to uncover the disgracefully large amount of advice Tony Blair ignored in helping in the US occupation, but there’s always more, as Baroness Manningham-Buller revealed today.
In an interview today on BBC Radio 4, the Baroness revealed that she had personally warned Tony Blair that invading Iraq would actually make the country less safe, and might increase the risk of terrorist attacks.
The MI5’s assessment of Iraq, as communicated to Blair, was that Irq “did not present a threat to the UK” and that the war would both be a “distraction” from al-Qaeda and would increase domestic terrorism.
The closest Blair ever came to an apology on Iraq was in January, when he insisted he “regretted” the large number of deaths, comments which were punctuated with calls for an identical US-UK invasion of neighboring Iran.
This comes of being a slavish follower of the idiots in Washington.
One has to wonder whether justice will ever catch up with the Bushs, Cheneys, Blairs, and neocons of this world. Isn't it odd that Hussain, Mubarak, Ghaddafi, all paid or are about to pay for their crimes, and yet the Western monsters get to enjoy their wealth and life just fine? What does that say about Arabs, Islam and the West?
What is Tony Blair? This corrupt, lap-dog of a man, has disgraced the British Empire like no other before him. He had his nose so far up GW Bush's anal cavity, that til this day, it smells like Old Spice cologne and rancid BBQ meat. This weak, vile, weasel of a man, has disgraced Britain for all eternity.
