What nonsense! In a war, there is no legality or illegality. War serves to decide what is legal and what is illegal. The will of the winner is the law. The will of the loser is criminal.

might be true in black and white cases. the invasion of Iraq was not a black and white case. the 'will' of the UK was and still is deeply divided. the story posted was about the threat of UK military chiefs to refuse to invade Iraq on the basis of the legal advice that was originally given. if true, it means the top military brass in the UK did not share your opinion.

Rubbish ! The Queen's forces may not be deployed beyond their legal remit. Britain is NOT Israel ! In the case of the invasion of Iraq they were illegally deployed on the orders of a Zionist puppet acting on the demands of his political backers who funded his election campaign. The same is true of Bush. The invasion was illegal and launched on the strenght of a brass necked lie manufactured for the purpose. The army should have refused to act on his orders - they are answerable to The Queen, and though her, to us, the people. Not him, whatever the tries to pretend to the contrary. What they should have done is taken down his illegal dictatorship, which has long since ceased to have any democractic legitimacy, since he constantly acts in contempt and defiance of us, the electorate, and in open contempt of The Queen. He was elected by only 24% of the electorate, and is in constant and open breech of the constitution and engaged in an open attempt to subvert and destroy the nation - and The Queen - whoes powers he constantly errodes and whoes authorities he constantly accures to himself and to an illegal foreign crime syndicate, namely the so-called "EU". He has also, and still does, conspire to hand over HM armed forces to an illegal foreign crime syndicate calling itself the "EU", which has no electoral authority even to exist. There is no reason not to remove him from power - and there is every possible reason, and necessity, to do so - as a matter of the greatest urgency. Those who conspire and contrive to keep him in power conspire to destroy The Queen and the nation and are guilty of treason.

Rubbish ! 1.5 million people took to the streets in the largest demonstration ever seen in Britain to express their opposition to this illegal invasion. Since then, even those who fell for the "patriot" con. trick have realised that they were lied to and that 57 British soldiers were sent to their deaths for the sake of Blair and his Zionist backers.

opinion. Rubbish ! Confronted with a cooked up document, changed at the last minute under pressure from Blair, to pretend that there was a legal basis for the invasion, the clearly reluctant military were left with no choice. It is perfectly clear from the comments of those returning from the war that they regarded the whole exercise as a political trick to fulfill Israeli vengenance - and they are furious.

Can you explain this to me......? The government is now wanting to expand their security departments...

The will of the people has everything to do with democracy, and nothing to do with megalomaniac type dictators. Where are those WMDs, eh? Everybody who was anti the Iraqi invasion is a socialist?

I dont give a XXXX what the UN did or didnt authorise. One doesnt require authorisation from a wholly corrupt edifice which sat idly by while the oil for food program was used to oppress and murder those the UN was allegedly there to protect. http://tinyurl.com/ytqaw Todays NYT "Hussein's Regime Skimmed Billions From Aid Program" "As ministry officials and government documents portrayed it, the oil-for-food program quickly evolved into an open bazaar of payoffs, favoritism and kickbacks. The kickback scheme worked, they said, because the payoffs could be included in otherwise legitimate supply contracts negotiated directly by the former government and then transferred to Iraq once the United Nations released funds to pay the suppliers. " "Under normal circumstances, Iraq would have been expected to seek the highest price for its oil, its only legal source of cash. Instead, said officials who worked with the oil-for-food program, Mr. Hussein's government fought to keep the price as low as possible to leave a margin for oil traders to pay illegal surcharges. " "That was where the oil traders would gather whenever a journalist, actor or political figure would arrive in Iraq and openly praise Mr. Hussein. Experience taught them that the visitor usually returned to the hotel with a gift voucher, courtesy of the Iraqi president or one of his aides, representing the right to buy one million barrels or more of Iraqi crude. " "They were paid millions of dollars, said Dr. Abbas, for drugs they did not deliver, medical equipment that did not work and maintenance agreements that were never honored. Iraq, he added, was left with defective ultrasound machines from Algeria, overpriced dental chairs from China and a warehouse filled with hundreds of wheelchairs that the old government did not bother to distribute.

If it was reason enough, then why was that not put to the electorate? Why did the gov have to create this whole damn WMD mess which has only served to damage the trust of the electorate and the future of government foreign policy?
