Jack Straw Lied To Chilcot

As explained here.

But it is at most a secondary matter to have lied about Jacques Chirac, much reviled for doing exactly as he was paid to do and protecting French interests, and perhaps even more so for daring to strike a note of conservative scepticism against demented neoconservative schemes to make the world anew at the barrel of a gun, as well as to drag America and other sovereign states to war because one or more particular foreign powers commanded it.

No, the primary matter in Britain is that, while Americans were also fed equally false and absurd suggestions about Saddam Hussein's having been behind 9/11, we were given precisely one reason for this war, namely the claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction capable of deployment (no one bothered to ask why) within 45 minutes against the British sovereign bases on Cyprus. That claim was completely and utterly false, as those making it knew to be the case.

Tony Blair is now a fabulously rich man.
