Tony Blair's Painful Lies On Iraq Being Revealed

Remember earlier in the week when the British began their independent inquiry into Iraq? Well, this massive tidbit that few will notice in this country, especially our corporate media, was dropped today about Tony Blair.

He bullied his Parliament thanks to his lies about Iraq it appears

An explosive secret letter that exposes how Tony Blair lied over the legality of the Iraq War can be revealed.

The Chilcot Inquiry into the war will interrogate the former Prime Minister over the devastating 'smoking gun' memo, which warned him in the starkest terms the war was illegal.

The Mail on Sunday can disclose that Attorney General Lord Goldsmith wrote the letter to Mr Blair in July 2002 - a full eight months before the war - telling him that deposing Saddam Hussein was a blatant breach of international law.

It was intended to make Mr Blair call off the invasion, but he ignored it. Instead, a panicking Mr Blair issued instructions to gag Lord Goldsmith, banned him from attending Cabinet meetings and ordered a cover-up to stop the public finding out.

All the dirt that is to be revealed about the lies, and how the Cheney Administration facilitated in the perpetuation of those fallacies will truly be eye-gauging to read about, as well as debilitating to here about as well.

Not surprising of course, but just imagine if we had an open and public inquiry ourselves. It would arguably be an even uglier sight to behold, because Britain didn't lead the United States into invading Iraq.

We lead them.
