I would be delighted to see Blair hauled in front of the ICC on a charge of Aggression.Originally posted by vetran View PostYep so by all means punish him for incompetence and lack of moral standards but B'liar & B'ruin have plenty to answer for.
But the fact that this is unlikely to ever happen shouldn't prevent the PM from being held to account.Comment

Yes he did, the decision to go to war was taken by parliament. Boris voted for the Iraq war.Originally posted by vetran View PostHey DomCum can be thrown to the Wolves just as Alistair (Lying) Campbell and Lord Mandleslime should have been.
Not heard that Bojo illegally invaded another country or called anyone a Bigot? He is now shovelling more cash to non working people in a recession.
Therefore he did illegally invade another country and no doubt would do so again.I'm alright JackComment

Parliament did not invade another country. Voting for an illegal war is not the same as waging an illegal war. That is on Blair, and arguably the Cabinet and military top brass.Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostYes he did, the decision to go to war was taken by parliament.

Based on a confection from Alistair "Liar" Campbell so really he and others were lied to, it seems DomCum is keeping up the tradition!
Alastair Campbell had Iraq dossier changed to fit US claims | UK news | The Guardian
Fresh evidence has emerged that Tony Blair's discredited Iraqi arms dossier was "sexed up" on the instructions of Alastair Campbell, his communications chief, to fit with claims from the US administration that were known to be false.The pre-invasion dossier's worst-case estimate of how long it would take Iraq to acquire a nuclear weapon was shortened in response to a George Bush speech.
As Campbell prepares to appear before the Iraq inquiry on Tuesday, new evidence reveals the extent to which – on his instructions – those drafting the notorious dossier colluded with the US administration to make exaggerated claims about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.
In a keynote speech to the UN on 12 September 2002, Bush claimed: "Should Iraq acquire fissile material, it would be able to build a nuclear weapon within a year." This contradicted the first draft of the British dossier, drawn up two days earlier, which stated that it would take "at least two years" for Iraq to get the bomb.
The Cabinet Office has disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act that those who drafted the dossier were immediately asked to compare British claims against the US president's speech. The next day the dossier's timescale was halved to claim Iraq could get the bomb in a year.
A Foreign Office official who helped draft the dossier, Tim Dowse, told the Chilcot inquiry that disputed claims that Iraq had acquired special aluminium tubes for a nuclear programme were included because the US vice-president, Dick Cheney, had publicly referred to them.Comment

Would have been more fun if Cummings had come out with the truth about having to stop the Remainers from trying to trigger the next phase of their plot to try and stiff the referendum winners over. He'd have probably been championed by more people then and the BBC would be left to do the whatabouting rather than the Cummings/BoJo fans.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
