Question:
Do you believe that the 'Chilcot' enquiry will recommend making Blair a saint?

It seems to me that the evidence that Blair 'abused his authority ' regarding going to war with Iraq' is
overwhelming and that criminal charges against Blair should be a matter of course, but as we have seen in previous attempts to get to a so called truthful conclusion with regards to Iraq always end with a white wash.

If the Chilcot enquiry dismiss the evidence against Blair, will this show once and for all we live in a corrupt undemocratic political feudal soup of: expense cheats ;politicians that are using us for their own political agendas ; political experiments and ideologies?

If the Chilcot enquiry dismiss the most serious breach of political understanding i.e. the idea that this country is run by the people not by dictators (dictators do what they want regardless what the people say) where does this actually ll eave we the people that are supposed to have a say in what is going on? Does this mean that all politicians have a 'God given Right' (just like Charles 1) to cause and create suffering on the basis of lies, murder and deliberate misleading of known intelligence and evidence?.

The Chilcot enquiry has raised some thrilling questions for Blair. The evidence so a techniques says that he were warned that the Iraq conflict would be seen unlawful via many and that he were cautioned against the invasion in inner maximum. all of us recognize it were suggested via Bush and Blair even earlier the run as much as the invasion and that Blair hadn't given the defense force the time or the components to plot for an invasion. There are questions that would desire to be replied, what concerns me is that jointly as what Blair says in all possibility wont be truthful, that's going to likely be planned and o.k. rehearsed and the probable effect is he will face no punishment. @ Mr Loaf- i think of you're lacking the component right here. you will possibly have faith that Iraq exchange right into a basically conflict because of the fact it bumped off a dictator yet whether it exchange into Blair could have positioned a real argument to the British people rather of telling us there have been weapons of mass destruction (so a techniques as i will artwork out he had no evidence and this became out to be an assumption he was hoping would be proved maximum suitable suited) with the purpose to deceive the rustic. that's thrilling you call those against the Iraq conflict 'lefties', for a start up a conflict could by no skill be a pair of left wing maximum suitable suited wing situation yet putting that aside Tony Blair's Labour social gathering is the biggest left wing social gathering right here interior the united kingdom.

I dont like Blair any more than you do, however there are a few things to say regarding your question. First of all, Blair was in cahoots with Yosemite Sam, aka GW Bush and it was Bush who actually declared war on Iraq in the beginning. Blair wanted the glory that had been bestowed on Thatcher due to her war cry for action against Argentina. Blair made a fatal mistake of joining the USA in a futile war of aggression. Britain hated Bush and because Blair joined forces with him, they hated Blair as well. The fundamental reason for going to war was to rid Iraq of it's dictator and ensure the eradication of WMD. As it happened, no weapons of mass destruction were found and excuses were made for this despite every man in the street knowing that Saddam had none. Only Blair stuck to his story that he would be proved right in the end.



Bush obviously did a great job of braiwashing Blair and he was gullible. But before we condemn him utterly, let us also look at what most of the other politicians have done recently. Almost ALL are guilty of claiming expenses to which they were not entitled. We have a coalition government who is strangling the country, and in particular the poorest in the land, hell bent on destroying all the good things that the laast government put into place to protect people from poverty. Hell bent on changing everything, including the NHS. Dictating policy as they go along after scrapping their parties manifestos on which people voted, and thinkiing they have a God given right to rule over us. The people are powerless to stop the rampages of Clegg and Cameron and we must suffer the cuts in services, cuts in jobs and wages, increased taxes and deprivation until the end.



I dont think Blair should get off scott free, but I think there are far more than Blair to blame for what is happening to Britain today. I think most of the politicians should be put on trial. Holding enquiries costs the tax payer a fortune and results in nothing that we di not already know. Why waste that money on long and tiresome enquiries. We all know they are guilty. There is no need to hold long enquiries that end up proving nothing or as you put it - whitewash.

The worrying thing for me is these answers!! It just proves how gullible the British public are! It shocks me that ALL the information is available to them to make a proper informed choice, however, they choose to hear snippets of information, form an opinion and then go back to watching their soaps. I appreciate that this years apprentice winner is very important but seriously guys. Take even 5 mins out of your day to learn about what's happening in the world you live in and THEN come back and comment on this thread. Ta

One of the reasons why i hate labour are because of blair, he is a steaming pile of liberal immigrant loving excrement. Teflon tony the crap will just slide of his tailor made suit, somehow Brown managed to escape being accused as a co-conspirator and traitor against Britain but Blair will never take the rap even though he was jointly responsible for the illegal war and unchecked mass immigration.



His name was on number 10, his responsibility his tenure it's no good him trying to pass blame onto his advisers. But we all know he has and will continue to do so, we need some heavy duty witnesses to give evidence against him to truly screw that bastard to a wall. Once thats done we can hit brown as well

Yes on all accounts, Blair definitely has a case to answer and I agree with you that the Chilcot enquiry is just another quango set up to let us know who the bosses are.

It wouldn't surprise me in all honesty. Blair's wicked, evil man, but he's got charisma and due to the fact the conflicts in the Middle East removed regimes hostile to Israel, the media will never expose his war crimes.

^Don't mind the resident armchair warrior who I won't name^



Blair had no mandate whatsoever to lie about the legality of his war. And even if he hadn't lied, would the 2 million people who turned out to protest the war in 2003 (who Blair ignored) count as 'a few of your daft mates'?

No, but also I hope that you never have to come face to face with the terrorists that Blair helped to keep at bay by doing what was right.
2011-05-26 09:48:25 UTC
well i'd be very surprised if that was in their remit.

Blair gets a mandate from the people at election time. something tells me your term 'people' refers to you and a few of your daft mates.
