Thanks for this. I have read the executive summary and, actually, UK intelligence advised Blair that Iraq was not a threat to the UK and that military action would make things worse: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a80f42ced915...

So this was purely a political move on the part of Blair to cozy up to the US. Maddening.

It infuriates me every time that I see Blair given publicity by the mainstream media and how he's still involved with international politics - especially the middle east/Israel. I did declare that I would never vote for Labour until they got Blair tried for war crimes (have voted for Greens since though most years that has been wasted as I live in Bristol which was a strongly Labour area).
