BBC News: Reports " Tony Blair overstated the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, sent ill-prepared troops into battle and had "wholly inadequate" plans for the aftermath, the UK's Iraq War inquiry has said. "
Lets Get Real:
The verdict on the Iraq War is pretty severe on Tony Blair, the press are going with a July 28th memo from Blair to Bush, the memo stated the following, " "I will be with you, whatever...", thus those that think Blair should face a War crimes trial will be pushing that, while his defenders, will states that the Inquiry does not say that Blair lied to Parliament. The UK acted on flawed information from intelligence, the UK wanted to part of the process, thus they had to have troops on the ground, the US did go down the UN route as suggested by Blair, in the end that was blocked by France stating it would veto any resolution. Thus the French undermined the UN not the the UK. This blog supported the Iraq War and still does, an evil regime was overthrown, and the people of Iraq were given a chance at freedom, democracy does not always comes with a nice ribbon and covering, sometimes it has to be fought for and there are those that do not make it, the UK Armed Forces did the best they could, the lack of equipment is down to the MOD.
