Dear All
One of the hidden features by the UK Government of the illegal Iraqi war was the torture, abuse and murder of Iraqi civilians by serving British personnel.
The Ministry of Defence is said to be investigating new allegations of abuse by the UK military in Iraq.
We aren’t talking about one or two incidents rather we are talking about 33 separate abuse claims that have been filed at present with the Ministry of Defence.
One serious allegation is that two soldiers raped a 16-year-old boy in 2003.
So the question to be asked, where was the command and control that allowed such a serious incident to take place?
Armed forces minister Bill Rammell said such claims were taken seriously but formal inquiries must be held "without judgements being made prematurely".
I think I smell whitewash in the air.
One thing the UK Labour Government is expert in is denying responsibility.
A public inquiry is already under way into the death of Iraqi civilian Baha Mousa.
So, what is so special about the Baha Mousa case?
He died in British custody sustaining 93 separate injuries.
In others words over a considerable period of time, British soldiers were allowed to act like animals, torturing this man as they saw fit.
For the record, we were portrayed as the ‘allies’, the good guys in the WW2 mode but effectively we were used as nazi lite to destroy an entire country, murder innocent civilians and deny generations a future.
I know of one army officer who served in Iraq who left the armed forces because in his words, he was ashamed of what had been done in Iraq.
And this guy is a hero in my book, brave, loyal with a strong sense of duty.
Despite the 33 allegations coming to light Rammell added;
"Over 120,000 British troops have served in Iraq and the vast, vast majority have conducted themselves to the highest standards of behaviour, displaying integrity and selfless commitment."
So fuck, is that an excuse?
I think people aren’t interested in that nonsense.
Mazin Younis, the Iraqi human rights campaigner who took the statement of the Iraqi boy said;
"I met this boy and it was extremely difficult taking his statement because he broke into tears many times and I had to comfort him."
So stepping back slightly who is ultimately responsible for the rape of this young boy?
Anthony "Tony" Charles Lynton Blair, former Prime Minister of the United kingdom and Ireland.
Blair famous said;
“Britain must be prepared to pay a "blood price”.
That price was far too high for all the innocent dead bodies littering Iraq because Blair wanted to suck up to George W Bush.
At present Blair is passing himself of as a man of god type when he should be locked up as the war criminal he certainly is.

Blair is a war criminal with the blood of many many people on his hands.

ReplyDeleteNot shifted my opinion, he should be in The Hague under arrest for war crimes.
