Tony Blair engages in damage limitation exercise to protect future reveune streams as more damaging evidence about Iraq emerges

Dear All

It seems that former Prime Minister Tony Blair is unhappy, hundreds of thousands of people are dead because of him in the Middle East but he is unhappy.

Does his unhappiness match that of the innocent victim’s families in the illegal Iraq war?

Hardly!

Tony Blair is currently engaged in a damage limitation exercise as reports say that his top legal adviser was gagged after expressing doubts about the legality of the 2003 Iraq invasion.

It has been reported that Attorney General Lord Goldsmith wrote the letter to 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 is then stated that Blair issued instructions to gag Lord Goldsmith.

So the questions for Chilcot are why was Goldsmith gagged?

Why was he banned him from attending Cabinet meetings?

Who ordered a cover-up to stop the public finding out?

Why did Blair conceal the bombshell letter from his own Cabinet?

And who were the people sworn to secrecy about the letter?

Blair curt reply to CNN during an interview about whether it was true that Goldsmith was being bullied was;

"No, it's not."

Then Blair closed down further questions and said he would respond in full when he gives evidence to the Iraq inquiry in the New Year.

So other pieces of damning evidence enters the public domain but still no criminal investigation and charges will be brought against Blair.

Blair is responsible for a lot of people dying needlessly and it is obscene that this war criminal is allowed to operate freely gathering as much wealth and power as he can.

The legacy of the Iraq War for the people of Britain is that the corrupt can openly operate in society at the highest levels beyond the reach of the law.
