Chilcot Iraq Enquiry.

[agricola]

So far a great many peoples response has been "yeah we fucked up but Saddam was a monster!!"

Thats great but if you'd made the intervention about that, about the prospect of freeing Iraq and gone in with a fucking PLAN we'd all be better off.

You cunts.

"We of course take all of the responsibility we should, but al-Qaeda, Saddam and Corbyn are far more to blame etc etc"

"We'll apologise when they apologise"

Lots of talk about accepting responsibility from people doing nothing of the sort.

Well they obviously kept that little fact to themselves then, don't remember anyone claiming that was going to happen when I went out there. Just before it all went wrong.

Well, they didn't tell parliament, or even parts of the Cabinet either, so why should they tell you? That was one of the problems. As this report is making adamantly clear.

So what date did you arrive?

Its only the PM and the Leader of the Opposition that respond to these things, he is just going through the more involved MPs in the normal way.

I was being flippant, but yes, take your point. Hilary Benn had a role in Iraq reconstruction, so that's why he was called to speak presumably (not as the recently departed shadow foreign sec)?

 

[Wilf]

"We'll apologise when they apologise"

The apology of Francis Begbie.

 

[SpookyFrank]

So what date did you arrive?

Just before everything went wrong of its own volition, for reasons unrelated to the invasion.

"We didn't start it", says Pat McFadden. "Saddam was killing people long before" (or similar)

Really, if Momentum are doing nothing else right now it should be to get all of these speeches bundled together into one little clip, accompanied by captions with statements from the Chilcott report.

 

[redsquirrel]

Really just illustrating how vile they are.

 

[agricola]

"This isn't a time for soundbites, but does the PM agree that someone should be feeling the hand of history on his collar" says an NI MP (didn't catch the name)

Lessons learned.

Never need to specify who learnt them or when.

 

[agricola]

This is as bad as the debate in 2009 after they almost all got caught out on their expenses.

 

[brogdale]

Christ; Blunkett now on R5 saying how he'd do it all again.

When you plan to murder a million people, make sure you fill the right forms in first.

Is anyone else shocked by just how poor the response from establishment pro-war MPs has been? I didn't expect contrition but I equally did not expect this level of lying and bravado, it just looks awful to everyone except themselves.

 

[agricola]

The Blair show begins!

 

[DotCommunist]

not shocked. You have to have a level of self delusion to justify the decision in the first place

the only one who had the honour to resign was cook. I've found his speech thanks to google.

 

[DotCommunist]

bigs up blair too much

 

[agricola]

"I am more sorry than you can believe"

I wish I could say I was but I'm not. Its a time for solidarity within the vermin because if one of them goes down then that leaves them all vulnerable to having to be responsible for their actions.

 

[J Ed]

Blair is sorry that you are irrationally angry about his aggressive illegal war

 

[agricola]

Shoes must have been confiscated from anyone attending this Blair press conference.

McFadden, yesterday:

 

[ffsear]

Glad i didnt vote for that cunt or his party

 

[DotCommunist]

'Iraq probably has no weapons of mass destruction as the term is understood'

robin cook, ages ago. Mind you he's also bigging up his role in containment so his honour while not tattered still has a stain or three

 

[agricola]

He is talking himself into a prison sentence.

 

[DotCommunist]

hanging chads and al gore it's retro as fuck. I'll stop now

 

[DotCommunist]

right, back in the present. Blairs voice has gone well reedy.
