| At the ongoing UK enquiry into the invasion of Iraq, the falseness of the justifications for that invasion - which was evident to the majority of humanity at the time - continues to be exposed: |
| CanadaRick :: False War in Iraq |
Tony Blair's government knew that prominent members of the Bush administration wanted to topple Saddam Hussein years before the invasion but initially distanced itself from the prospect knowing it would be unlawful, it was disclosed at the Iraq inquiry today.
Even before Bush's administration came to power an article written by his then national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, warned that "nothing will change" in Iraq until Saddam was gone, Sir Peter Ricketts, a former chairman of the joint intelligence committee (JIC) and now the Foreign Office's top official, told the inquiry.

The military timetable for an invasion of Iraq in 2003 did not give time for UN weapons inspectors in the country to do their job, the former British ambassador to Washington told the Iraq inquiry in London today.
Sir Christopher Meyer said the "unforgiving nature" of the build-up after American forces had been told to prepare for war meant that "we found ourselves scrabbling for the smoking gun".
He added: "It was another way of saying 'it's not that Saddam has to prove that he's innocent, we've now bloody well got to try and prove he's guilty.' And we - the Americans, the British - have never really recovered from that because of course there was no smoking gun."

This enquiry and further investigations, are critically important.
As a result of the US/UK invasion and occupation of Iraq, hundreds of thousands of human beings were killed. Millions became refugees.
At the time, because of misleading propaganda, a significant percentage of Americans had become convinced that Iraq had been connected to the 911 attacks.
Even George W. Bush eventually admitted that was not true.
Humanity must be willing to deal with its past if it is to improve its future. Everything about the lies that led to those events should be exposed, in hopes of preventing such insanities in the future.
