Guardian: Reports " Overall, Chilcot’s report amounts to arguably the most scathing official verdict on any modern British prime minister. It implicitly lumps Blair in the same category as Anthony Eden, who invaded Egypt. Chilcot’s 2.6m-word, 12-volume report was released on Wednesday morning, together with a 145-page executive summary. "
Lets Get Real:
Let us recall that Tony Blair won a general election in 2005, that was two years after the War started, he was only pushed out by Gordon Brown in 2007, at least he had a year's grace period, Lady Thatcher had just five days. THIS blog will never understand how Labour can turn its back on Blair, he won them three election after being out of power for nearly 18 years. The Iraq War was a mistake based on faulty information, that can happen to any leader, as suggested in my last post, Iraq will not be the last War that he UK gets in too, there will be others, memories fade, bitter memories even fade, the UK acted in Libya under PM Cameron, at least Cameron did not send in ground troops, then there is always Syria, this blog has argued that it will take ground troops to get rid of Daesh in Syria. This blog saw this morning that President Obama is keeping eight thousand four troops in Afghanistan, and wants NATO to add more, crisis points change, Blair did the best he could, you can ask nothing more of a leader.
