“To initiate a war of aggression is the supreme int’l crime”
The Iraq war was neither in self-defense against an armed attack nor sanctioned by the UN
Over 1 million ppl died
Bush & Blair should be in The Hague at a war crimes tribunal rather than on TV

Eight months before the start of the Iraq war, Tony Blair wrote to George W Bush: "We don't want to be mucked around by Saddam...the danger is he drags us into negotiation"
This is from the #ChilcotReport, yet still Blair is treated by the media like a respected elder statesman.

To try & get UN approval of the war on Iraq, the US & UK tried every trick in the book
The UN saw through their lies, as did most people around the world
They went ahead anyway
No WMD’s were found
A million people died
Blair & Bush faced no charges.

Whilst Bush has been reframed as a "cuddly grandpa", Blair morphed from PM to Middle East peace envoy (the irony!)
He did not lose his thirst for war, hunger for riches or his moral vacuity
Blair then retired to spend even more time with his dictators.

In 2005, a small group of us - helped by @brianeno - tried to exploit a loophole in electoral law, to oust Blair from Sedgefield in the general election
Had Reg Keys pledged to call an immediate bye election (as Terry Jones had planned) he might have won! newint.org/blog/2015/05/0…

“Good ol’ Blair is no longer in charge of England & his replacement is this grumpy Scotch guy who used to be a commie. Last time I saw Blair he was over here taking on another big bucks consulting job"
A few years ago, I got hold of Bush's secret diaries

“Condoleeza once compared going into Iran at the end of my term to taking a big dump on the Oval Office carpet just before handing over the keys”
The Bush diaries were a spoof, but it later emerged that the US was indeed planning to attack Iran in 2007/8.
