MP calls for Tony Blair to be 'stripped of all honours' after long-awaited Chilcot report into the Iraq War is published this week Tony Blair facing calls to lose right to sit on Privy Council and his title Tory MP Sir Davis Amess said the former PM 'should not escape justice' It revolves around claims he 'misled the public' over the 2003 Iraq War There is also the question of whether the war was legal. The then-Attorney General Lord Goldsmith produced a legal opinion expressing doubts that war could be justified without a second UN resolution. He then revised his opinion, stating that war would be legal if the Government could show that Iraq was in ‘material breach’ of a previous UN resolution.[[remembering that Goldsmith was a friend of blairs] This reversal was greeted with amazement among Government lawyers. One resigned. The Cabinet was fobbed off, with legal opinion made to appear far more clear cut than it really was. Having taken the country to war on shaky grounds, the post-war planning was almost non-existent. Indeed, Mr Blair appears to have repeatedly ignored warnings from the Armed Forces on this. He also ignored warnings from Middle East experts who said it was a fantasy that Saddam’s regime could be removed without triggering civil war throughout the region. The consequences were disastrous, and have overshadowed every action the UK has taken in the Middle East since, in Afghanistan, in Libya, in Syria and in Yemen. So the evidence presented to the inquiry is clear: Mr Blair misled Parliament and the country by deliberately exaggerating the threat posed by Saddam’s regime, and by deliberately underplaying his own commitment to regime change. In addition, he took the UK into a disastrous conflict while ignoring warnings about the lack of planning for the aftermath. How did our system of Government become so corrupted that deliberate inaccuracies and even lies could become the official narrative? Why did the intelligence chiefs not object to their product being so misrepresented?
