Showing posts with the label Gulf war

Coming out of the woodwork.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/john-prescott-links-tony-bl-airs-invasion-of-iraq-with-radicalisation-of-young-muslims-10108322.html   John Prescott links Tony Blair's Iraq invasion with radicalisation of young Muslims Former deputy PM  believes the 2003 invasion of Iraq was 'wrong'   How strange and sad that the politicians (and others) now crawling out of the wood work to criticise Blair and the other warmongers for their illegal wars in Iraq and Libya and the folly of the Afghanistan invasion, have taken so long to speak out publicly.

For our Country, the reality is that Blair played second fiddle to Clinton and Bush in his drive to gain favour with the United S...

Conspiracy leading to an illegal war.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics Tony Blair blocked the Government's most senior lawyer from explaining to Cabinet the legality of the war in Iraq. According to his former spin doctor, the then Prime Minister feared that the legal opinion was too "nuanced" and would allow the war's ministerial critics Robin Cook and Clare Short to say that the case had not been made. Now that Campbell has admitted what many of us had known or suspected for years, will the lying hypocrite Blair finally be exposed as the Bush puppet and war criminal that he is?
