I see our old mate Teflon Tone ( Tony Blair ex U.K. Prime Minister ) has taken the stand today in The Iraq Enquiry , but it seems his co – conspirator - Lord Goldsmith has been paving the way for a nice easy ride., although I did notice the only people to get a standing public ovation were the pair of government lawyers , who stated the case for war was illegal
To cut straight to the chase , I personally do not see why we should be wasting public money on this toothless enquiry , which has nil legal status , hence - no oaths to actually tell the truth , and certainly no consequences at the end of all the proceedings .
On the other hand , the calls to try the small band of officials for war crimes are a little harsh, although the definition of waging aggressive war does fit that particular charge, and anyway I was thinking about more of ………………

No seriously –
We certainly need to change the law in this country , as regards the procedures about going to war , as a direct consequence of the past few years.
We simply cannot allow our government to send people to die in their hundreds on the flimsy evidence provided by a tiny group of politicians and officials , but in the meantime - if this current situation is allowed to carry on , there must be serious legal consequences at the end of it , to try and get people to think twice , if nothing else.
Talking of politicians - what ever next - The Republicans laughing at Obama’s jokes.. ……………surely not :)
