Ex-Prime Minister Blair Faces Iraq Inquiry --Mr Blair, who has been called "Bush's poodle" , will also be questioned about whether he gave the US President [sic] an early assurance that British troops would join the invasion without consulting Parliament or the public . 28 Jan 2010 Tony Blair will be questioned for six hours tomorrow on his decision to take Britain into war with Iraq in 2003. The former Prime Minister's testimony is expected to be the highlight of the Iraq Inquiry . The audience will include family members of soldiers and civilians killed or missing in the country. Mr Blair is expected to be quizzed about accusations that he and his inner circle were so determined to topple Saddam Hussein that they exaggerated intelligence reports about Iraqi weapons and pressured the then-Attorney General to conclude that the invasion would not be a violation of international law . http://tinyurl.com/yefsp68 == Iraq war was a crime of aggression: The damning verdict of top Whitehall lawyers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WarOnError/message/1433 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ShadowGovernment" group.
