The Iraq War Part Two

Telegraph: Reports on the Iraq War Inquiry and the statements of the UK side, that the road to War with Iraq started in 2001 with Bush 43 coming in to power, although the UK wanted to contain the Iraqi regime. It is important to see the road to war with Iraq in the context of 9/11, in the election of 2000 Bush 43 had stated that he didn't want to nation build as Clinton Administration had done in Bosnia. It was only after 9/11 and the perceived threat from weapons of mass destruction did Bush 43 move to start the long road to war with Iraq. But also lets be realistic here folks, this is an Inquiry will never get to the heart of the matter when it comes to Iraq due to the fact that the USA actors will not be in attendance. Thus whats the point of such an investigation if Bush 43 or Dick Cheney will not turn up, its only one side, the UK side, and the main power players are in the USA.
