So.....Tony Blair is not a war criminal then? It took all this time and money to tell us all what we knew anyway? Good luck with trying to pursue him through the courts, he was the PM at the time and could not be considered personally liable for actions taken by the government. As expected the "I told you so" brigade are out in force led by none other than Jeremy Corbyn who, to be fair, did say the war was a mistake before it started. Since the Brexit vote Labour have welcomed 100,000 new members and they will probably see to it that Corbyn remains leader of the party. His long-standing objection to the Iraq war will go down well with members and he'll be able to fire off a few choice words at his rivals if they voted for what Blair wanted. I am now keeping my eyes open for the "Chilcot enquiry didn't go far enough" comments.
I've seen a couple of headlines, someone must answer for my soldier son dying in Iraq. He joined the army as a paid killer you ****ing idiot, what do you expect? It's the hundreds of thousand dead Arabs I'd say deserve a lot more than your brainless ****ing son.
I'm pretty sure that if a 17 year old signs up for the army their parents need to sign off on it Is that true?
I have to agree with this ... You join the army, you know what might happen. I know parents must be hurt at losing a child but they made a choice to join an organisation where you might get killed. I dont agree they are brainless, but they must accept teh consequences. I also agree, we should have left Saddam to it (and Afghanistan, Syria etc) - it's not our "mess" to try and sort out.
That's the one when they were parading through Tottenham with a coppers heid on a stick. The good 'ol days.

To join the British Army these days you need to be pretty ****ing stupid, every man and their dog knows that these wars are built on absolute ****e. Either brainless or up for a fight regardless of the consequences so your death is pretty much warranted either way.
It will tell us nothing we don't already know. Tony will get a wee bit embarrassed but his millions will help him get over it. **** all will come of it and it will all be so much chip paper in a fortnights time. Move along sir nothing to see here.
I can't imagine how it would feel to lose a child but the parents complaining that their kids shouldn't have been there in the first place doesn't sit right with me. If their argument is played out would parents of soldiers and others in the armed forces demand they not go to take part in conflicts they don't personally agree with? "Sorry son, you can't go to Iraq to fight because your Mum says the war there is not justified" "Sorry son, you can't go to Belfast because your great uncle was Irish and you could end up killing a long lost cousin" "Good news son, we are off to Africa to kill darkies and your mum and dad are ok with it so grab your gun and let's go!" History isn't written by the winners any more, it is written by the mopey cnuts who can't leave it alone.
