Bernice: It's one thing to make a claim with evidence, it's another thing to make a claim with no evidence and tell others to wake up and smell the coffee. Something smells alright and it isn't the coffee.
Seriously though... It would be nice for a full investigation to take place. Just to put minds at rest.... or at least by close observation of those giving evidence to see if the wool has been tried to be pulled over our eyes.
Some small investigations have taken place over here, and revealed that certain elements of what we were told before going into Iraq were false. Unfortunately it wasn't in the enquiries remit to go deeper.
(V): revealed that certain elements of what we were told before going into Iraq were false
Finally, first time I remember that you didnt use the word "lied".... there is always false information, all the time, everywhere, but it is a huge leap to accuse of lies and conspiracies.
Czuch: Sorry.. I'll remember to use the word lied to. It's more accurate in this case, We were told that Saddam could attack UK bases in 45 minutes.... that was a lie.
(V): Do you mean an investigation of the events leading up to the war in Iraq? If a trustworthy investigation could be conducted, I wouldn't oppose that. But what can be accomplished by it?
I'd rather see a complete revamping of the US's foreign policy with respect to military presence in other countries. We have plenty of probems on our own soil and ought to be attending to those first. I don't know what a good Foreign policy would look like but I think we can do much better.
Artful Dodger: More honesty in Government, and hopefully certain agencies in the USA finally reigned in. And to see if your government is being controlled by others directly and indirectly.
