Iraq: The Crime of the Century
---
July 6, 2017
The Guardian (UK)
Chilcot report: key points from the Iraq inquiry
The UK chose to join the invasion before peaceful options had been exhausted
Blair deliberately exaggerated the threat posed by Saddam Hussein
Blair promised George Bush: ’I will be with you, whatever’
The decision to invade was made in unsatisfactory circumstances
George Bush largely ignored UK advice on postwar planning
There was no imminent threat from Saddam
Britain’s intelligence agencies produced ‘flawed information’
The UK military were ill-equipped for the task
UK-US relations would not have been harmed if UK stayed out of war
Blair ignored warnings on what would happen in Iraq after invasion
The government had no post-invasion strategy
The UK had no influence on Iraq’s postwar US-run administration
The UK did not achieve its objectives in Iraq
The government did not try hard enough to keep a tally of Iraqi civilian casualties
