TONY BLAIR should be IMPEACHED for taking Britain to war with IRAQ, says retired General.

 

General Sir Michael Rose, who led UN forces in Bosnia, said the Prime Minister should NOT be allowed to ‘walk away’ from the CONFLICT.

 

He accused him of misleading Parliament and the country about his true motives for invading IRAQ.

 

The General insisted he would have resigned rather than take troops to war based on the Government’s flimsy evidence

 

He makes the claims in a TV documentary to be shown by Channel 4 later this month.

 

[We wonder how Admiral Michael Boyce who asked for a legal acceptance of the war from Tony Blair as depicted in the

‘WHY WE WENT TO WAR’ drama/documentary decided to toe the line when he must have had more than a few doubts of the scant legal justification for the war - did not smell a rat, and keep his hands clean]

 

In the programme [on Channel 4 later this week General Sir Michael Rose] says:

 

‘The Politicians should be held to

account, and my view is that Blair should be IMPEACHED.

 

‘That would prevent politicians treating quite so carelessly the subject of taking a country into war.’

 

Speaking yesterday on Radio 4’s Today programme, he said:

 

‘To go to war on what turns out to be false grounds is something that no one should be allowed to walk away from.’

Despite Mr Blair’s claims that his aim was to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, he probably has some other strategy in mind, the General said.

 

He added:

 

‘The consequences of that war have been quite disastrous both for the people of Iraq, and also for the West in terms of the wider interests in the war against global terror.’

 

The General is one of a number of retired soldiers taking part in Friday’s documentary-IRAQ: The Failure of WAR -by former war correspondent and Independent MP Martin Bell.

 

He [General Rose] tells Mr Bell that UN weapons inspectors should have been given more time to see if Saddam Hussein really had such weapons.

 

‘They (politicians) should not contemplate taking the more serious decision any politician can take - and that is to go to war -without proper grounds and without proper adequate resources to fulfil the strategy that has been outlined.’

 

In the documentary, Mr Bell denounces war as an ill-considered adventure’.

 

A group of MP’s tried to have Mr Blair

 

IMPEACHED

 

for

 

HIGH CRIMES and MISDEMEANERS’

 

-last year. But they have been unsuccessful in getting it debated in the COMMONS. There have been four INQUIRES into different aspects of the CONFLICT.

These include the Butler report into intelligence failings and the Hutton Inquiry into the death of Government scientist Dr David Kelly.

[The sad loss of a rare man of PRINCIPLE Robin Cook within the HOUSE whose resignation had it been followed by many others surrounding Tony Blair would have stopped the mad dash to war . The redoubtable Clare Short and Robin Cook were a true exemplars of the best that have been moved by their place of honour in our once respected Mother of Parliaments.

 

Many still find the death of Robin Cook suspicious knowing the warning that Robin Cook gave to the Prime Minster at the time of his resignation that even he may lose his Crown. We have the case of David Kelly as a prime example. What an opportunity for a rogue unit within MI6 to obtain an operative to dispose of a man who is on a climbing holiday - it is a perfect Agatha Christie plot.

 

But those who have already betrayed their country would have no compunction in removing such an accomplished and stolid man of PRINCIPLE and INTEGRITY as his stature would always be an affront in the HOUSE to those who did not appreciate his HONESTY and BRAVERY to make a stand. The war lobby with the PM at its head were committed to the deed of HELL and low betide any late defections]

 

One is reminded of the words of Lord Acton (1834-1902)

 

‘POWER TENDS TO CORRUPT, AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY’

 

 

To continue:

 

 

More than 100 MP’s are backing calls for an investigation of how the Government came to back the U.S. INVASION.

 

Mr Blair’s official spokesman said:

 

‘General Rose is entitled to his view, Equally, the Government is entitled to point out that we have had free democratic elections in Iraq for the first time in well over a generation.

 

‘In terms of the reasons why we went to war, that has been investigated by four Inquires.

 

‘We have in process the creation of a democratically-elected government in Iraq and that speaks for itself.’

 

[In double - speak it means we decided to go to war what ever the opposition and though we have almost destroyed the many centuries accumulation of our TRUE Democracy in Britain or more specifically ENGLAND we have told the Iraqi people that they must now take our so-called gift of democracy and of course sort out all the extra troubles the Invasion of Iraq has brought on the Iraqi people. SO THERE!

 

We now learn that the three regions of Iraq are now under the religious/national leaders and that the American and British forces are literally bystanders which is what many predicted before the war in Iraq commenced.
