Tony Blair is set to be quizzed as part of an inquiry into the Iraq War announced by his successor Gordon Brown.
The former Prime Minister, who led Britain to war, said that if asked he would ‘of course’ appear before the panel.
But Mr Brown has been accused of an ‘Establishment stitch-up’ after announcing the inquiry will meet in secret and blame no one.

It will also have no legal powers to demand documents, compel anyone to attend or require witnesses to swear an oath.
And since it will take at least a year to conduct, the findings will come out safely beyond the date of the next General Election.
Opponents said his announcement revealed the hollowness of his repeated pledges to open up the political system and rebuild trust in democracy.

“The International Court of Justice must investigate the Iraq war. The evidence is that war crimes have been committed.”

We went to War, it has caused immeasurable human suffering and misery here in the U.K in the U.S and especially in Iraq. We the people need to know the TRUTH and this is an outrage to fundamental and universal freedoms of man, and an affront to our supposed democracy, This inquiry must be held in public.

Most Brits don’t know that there is an Iraq enquiry going on.
Behind closed doors?
Bisness as usual.

If Blair hadn’t colluded with Bush in his neo-con wetdream of a war, it would have never happened. Without the fig leaf of British support it would have gone no where. For this Blair can never be forgiven. The fat hog they were going to slaughter has boomaranged and now we will have to pay along with the criminals who did it.
The 9/11 inside job was just an excuse to implement their insane plan.

WMD dossier and Dr David Kelly, the Cause of this War was a fraud. In a Just world Bush and Blair would stand trial in public for crimes against humanity, sadly this will never happen.

Blair and all the ziocons in the Bush admin should be charged with war crimes and when they have been found guilty and jailed for their crimes it should be the editors and owners of the ziocon media who played ball with Bush and Blair and fed us that crap about wepons of mass destruction..
