Tony Blair's unwelcome intervention
over military action in Syria
merely compounds the obloquy
heaped upon him as a narcissistic
politician, who took the UK into
the illegal invasion of Iraq. It was
a war based on the false premise of
the imminent use of weapons of mass
destruction The cost to the UK was
£4.5bn and 6,700 casualties.
The Blair government made the
the disingenous assertion, that the
2003 attack was justified by UN
Security Council Resolutions
relating to the first Persian war,
subsequent ceasefire (660 and 678)
and later UN weapons' inspection,
which it said authorised the invasion.
The much delayed Chilcot Inquiry
on the Iraq war, due to be published
next year, will add to Britain's
humiliation at the G20 summit, when
heir to Blair Cameron's desire to
poodle up to Barrack Obama in
attacking Syria was frustrated
by a last week's parliamentary vote.
Cameron's wish to stand shoulder to
shoulder with the Americans was
denied by MPs voting against being
drawn into another war, which the
country could not afford and could
not win.
Russian President, Vladimir Putin,
displayed his diplomatic credentials
and rubbed Cameron's nose in his
manifest impotence, describing
Great Britain as a 'small island
nobody took any notice of''.
The Syrian humaniterian crisis
contiues to deepen with over 4m
displaced people and a further
2.3m crossing the borders into
Jordan and Lebanon, Hans Blix,
chairman of the Weapons of Mass
Destruction Commission, has said
that the only solution to the conflict
is the cessation of the supply of
weapons to both sides.
