In the United States, Bush and Cheney had the CIA unleash a weaponized anthrax attack through the mail service one week after 9/11. That was the extra push needed to convince citizens that dictators like Saddam Hussein might be harboring "weapons of mass destruction". Of course the whole thing seems laughable now especially to anyone who's ever heard of Operation Northwoods.
yeah, I went to the US to study in Aug 2001, and the anthrax drama is vividly remembered.
Honestly, all this "war on terror" post 911 is doing neither the US or the rest of the world any good, and didn't make anyone safer. It is just sheer stupidity and self-importance.
Sir John Chilcot's Iraq War inquiry report is published after seven years
UK joined Iraq invasion "before peaceful options for disarmament exhausted" - and military action was "not last resort"
Threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were "presented with certainty that was not justified"
Consequences of Iraq invasion were underestimated "despite explicit warnings", Sir John says
Planning and preparation for period after the fall of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was "wholly inadequate"
Inquiry set up by ex-PM Gordon Brown in June 2009 to look into run-up to 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq and its aftermath
Some of the points raised by the CR.
Seems like Blair jumped the gun sending the troops in before all other peaceful options had been exhausted. (probably pressured by Bush to present an Allied front to justify an early war)
So these are the findings; but what of justice?
Blair knew fine and well by sucking up to Bush he was a man made for life.. he should be locked away.
The White House would rather you not know about the Haliburton affair. Even though Cheney was CEO of Haliburton for five years before becoming Vice President, this is not mentioned in the White House biography of Cheney
Vice President Cheney's Haliburton Company is said to have made about $39.4 BILLION on the Iraq War!
Bush was just a dumb puppet and Cheney was really running the country. He did resign from his Haliburton job (CEO) to avoid the obvious but only a fool would believe that he wasn't still running the show and earning loads of money by invading Iraq.
Fool that Blair was, he bought into the whole thing. Our governments--it's all about money, greed. That's all it comes down to now--bribery, corruption>>>>more money. Why do the few need such an incredible amount of money? What can you possible DO with all that money?
