The Iraq Inquiry
Monday, January 4, 2010
The Iraq Inquiry is in many ways the Goverments way of appeasement. It’s the minimum they had to do. It was being demanded from all quarters, in particular, the UK Public, the UK Media and MPS. Gordon Brown and fellow sychopants wanted the Inquiry to be held in private. It is being held in public after much protest, but no prosecutions will be made. This is purely a jobs for the boys information gathering session.
Here’s what they have to say:
“About the Inquiry
The Prime Minister announced on 15 June 2009 that an Inquiry would be conducted to identify lessons that can be learned from the Iraq conflict. The Iraq Inquiry was officially launched on 30 July 2009. At the launch the Chair of the Inquiry, Sir John Chilcot, set out the Inquiry’s Terms of Reference:
“Our terms of reference are very broad, but the essential points, as set out by the Prime Minister and agreed by the House of Commons, are that this is an Inquiry by a committee of Privy Counsellors. It will consider the period from the summer of 2001 to the end of July 2009, embracing the run-up to the conflict in Iraq, the military action and its aftermath. We will therefore be considering the UK’s involvement in Iraq, including the way decisions were made and actions taken, to establish, as accurately as possible, what happened and to identify the lessons that can be learned. Those lessons will help ensure that, if we face similar situations in future, the government of the day is best equipped to respond to those situations in the most effective manner in the best interests of the country.”
The Inquiry committee members are:
Sir John Chilcot (Chairman),
Sir Lawrence Freedman:
Sir Martin Gilbert:
Sir Roderic Lyne:
Baroness Usha Prashar:
The Inquiry will take evidence over a number of months, with as many hearings as possible held in public. Hearings will begin in the autumn and continue into the New Year. A report of the Inquiry’s findings will be published at the end of this process, but as the Inquiry has such a complex task ahead of it the report is unlikely to be ready for publication before summer 2010. The Inquiry committee intends to include in the report all but the most sensitive information essential to our national security. The report will then be debated in Parliament.”

Tony Blair and his henchmen have clearly violated the principles of international law and are guilty of the m,urder of Iraqui citizens. We do not need an enquiry to establish this. What we need is someone with the guts to censor Blair, arrest him and make a supreme example of him–that is the way lessons are learned, not by namby-pamby toothless enquiries!
