Blair was knighted even after the truth came out. He's a war criminal. He went to war knowing that soldiers and civilians, on both sides would die or be maimed, based upon lies. But Hey! We got £15 billion in oil. How much is a life with?

"Operation Desert Fox – was a direct precursor to his stance over the invasion of Iraq five years later in 2003, which was also deemed illegal"

Actually, the USA was doing that, and asked the poodle to back them up.
So wrong.
