Blair sent troops to bomb and kill based on an irrefutable lie.

Are you comparing blair to someone who commits genocide?

The goal was to remove a fascist dictator, its just a shame they couldnt have said that from the start.

The armchair politicians that pollute this place will have a field day with it. The same argument will get thrown back and forwards, accusations of lying, strawman!, people will be banned, posts will be delete, but life will go on.

probably because "regime change" is not permitted under international law.

Number of Iraqi dead as a result?

The only shame is that we left saddam in power in 1991.

Interesting perspective around that here:

Directly?

Not very many.

The majority of deaths have been caused by other Iraqis

Here we go.

Another long drawn out debate where one person believes the Iraqi body count Web page is explicitly attributable to Blair and Bush and another person does not.

Nothing will happen.

This, you only have to read the "criticisms" section of the wikipedia page on the report to establish within 5 minutes that lots of Blair and Bush evidence has been destroyed, the "experts" hired to make it had no expertise in the field, and the report will generally not reveal much at all. It was due release at 1m words...i think it now has something ridiculous like 2.8m? WHo knows how much its changed now...

Let's not forget the widely predicted rise of So called Isis in the power vacuum.

Blair will of course get off free.

One could say he'll get off ChilScott-free...

The report is longer than War and Peace. It'd take days to fully comprehend even if you put all your effort into it. Not only will we have people claiming to tell us what it all means the second it comes out, as it turns out we have people already telling us that :rolleyes:

For those interested the report will be available to download free on 6 July 2016 from here: http://www.iraqinquiry.org.uk/

I've always said that in my lifetime Blair and Bush will be tried for war crimes. How can you justify war, flatten a country, inadvertently create ISIS as a result of it all and all on the premise of weapons of mass destruction that were not there?

1million% illegal. It's a shameful society we live in all depending on where you live and what school you went to .....
