No government minister has been available to explain the apparent change in the legal advice given by Lord Goldsmith in March 2003 regarding war with Iraq. Not only was the resignation letter from Elizabeth Wilmshurst, deputy chief legal adviser to the Foreign Office, censored but the government continues to refuse to release Lord Goldsmith’s full legal advice.
This situation should not go on. On the ’Today’ programme this morning former defence minister Lord Gilbert blustered that the public have no right to see the advice. ’It must be taken on trust’ he said. This government has lost that trust.
Reg Keys, father of Lcp Tom Keys Royal Military Police, killed in Iraq in June 2003 said today:
’As I waved my son Tom off to war I believed the credibility of this government and the fact that this was a legal war. I now feel a man betrayed by his own government and their legal advisers. My son now rests in his grave , his oath of allegiance betrayed. There has to be accountability for this disgraceful conduct by the Prime Minister and his associates. That is why I am going to stand in Sedgefield because Tony Blair has to be made to account for this war. The families have every right to see the full legal advice.’
Rose Gentle, mother of fusilier Gordon Gentle, killed in Iraq June 2004, said :
’Tony Blair should be impeached for the lies he has told, he must be brought to court. We know there were no weapons of mass destruction, now we know there was no legal justification for the war either’.

Blair should be given a fair trial. And then a fair hanging. Treasonous bastard.
If he can show that he has been blackmailed then he could only be sentenced to a term in jail.

Churchill should have been hanged for actually having the gall to confront facism! Free 25 million people- Not in our name!

I keep hearing that this is an "illegal war".
will someone kindly explain what, exactly, would make a war "legal"?

Well, the term legal war of course implies that the reasons for the justification for attacking another country are based on a threat to our country. Now, as we all know, Bush told a bunch of woopers and got congress on board to approve of Bush if he were to wage war on Iraq. And now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, and it is known by all that the lies given for the reasons for war were just that, it calls into question the very justification for the war on Iraq, thus the term "illegal" war is applied for clarification purposes and to highlight what can happen when a snakey lying little bastard somehow gets appointed to the office of president in a country that has been hijacked by the military idustrial complex aka the C.I.A., et.al. I hope this helps.

Here in the UK they’re desperate to get people to join the TA -(Territorial Army), part time soldiers. There is a glamorous recruitment drive because people, as in the US, aren’t enlisting to be muderous hired killers anymore.
On to Churchill, seeing as someone mentioned him -He was a pompous,sexist, murdering racist twat. He could have authorised the bombing of the Auschwitz railway lines in 1942 to stop an extermination. He did though authorise the gassing of the Kurds in 1926 when the Brits ruled Iraq. The famous quote SHOULD be ; NEVER HAS SO MUCH BEEN OWED BY SO FEW TO SO MANY. ie the millions that have died in wars instigated by rich bastards

I cannot deny that Blair is probably a "snakey, lying, little bastard": all politicians are, [without exception] it’s just the nature of the people that are drawn to that job.
Nonetheless, I think you have a very legal, if very unconventional, war on your hands and if you do not wake up to that fact you are going to lose and the loss will be total, catastrophic and [most likely] permanent.
All of Europe is falling before the first tide, the "soft assault" of ISLAM.
After the soft assault, the "strategic immigration" is over, the real attack will begin, and, as I see it, Europe does not have the courage or the resolve to fight back.
Europe’s lack of resolve is the direct result of almost 300 years of enlightenment philosophy, dozens of vicious wars, some of them apocalyptic in their scope, the rise of nihilistic socialism and with it the destruction of any real , coherent, moral code. As a result, the average modern European finds himself [or herself, as the case may be] wandering in a nihilistic wasteland in search of three things; tight pussy, loose shoes, and a warm place to shit.
Candidly, such degraded creatures do not deserve the land they live on, and ISLAM will gladly take it away from you and convert you from mere slaves to your fantasies to actual SLAVES.
In the NETHERLANDS, a number of legislators are required to live on an army base, and travel constantly with bodyguards because of FATWAS put on them by local MULLAS. There is and has been, for some time, a wave of emigration by native Dutch, to Austalia and New Zealand in particular, in order to escape the coming conflict. The ISLAMIC population of the Netherlands is too large now, it is indeed approaching critical mass, soon, very soon it will demand SHARIA LAW.
in France, the ISLAMIC population in PARIS is already at critical mass, it is already demanding SHARIA LAW, and parts of PARIS are already under DE-FACTO SHARIA LAW.
GERMANY: Much the same as France, with terror cells and their sympathizers waiting to be activated.
SWEDEN, NORWAY: Germany and France redux, with rape of native women and welfare cheating among the only significant contributions being made by the ISLAMIC immigrants.
RUSSIA: remember Beslan? This is your future, embrace it.
This is Europe’s future because it is too stupid and short sighted to recognize a legitimate war, and , if, having recognized it, it is too gutless and corupt to fight it.
Many valid parallels can be drawn between WWI, WWII, and today’s situation, with the exception that this will certainly be the last war.

Fuck you....the biggest terrorist in the world is Bush. The totally discredited idea that somehow Islam is a big player in the ongoing warmongering by Bush is a fucking joke and so are you, go troll the GOP sites and the Bush Butt Kissers sites. They welcome your idiotic creamed corn spewed from Fox news. The people who come to this site are smarter and more well informed than that, and you are a moron and a total waste of time.

oh me oh my, such spellbinding eloquence.
I am totally gratified by your hate filled, irrational invective.
Suddenly I find myself almost liking Bush. [a person who, I really have very little use for]
The fact that you find yourself "terrorized" by Mr. Bush is wonderfully satisfying.
People like you and your friends need to be terrorized.
The more, the better.
Perhaps we can torture you like those men at Abu Ghraib prison, by putting girls panties on your head and taking pictures of you.
Would that terrorize you?
I hope!

This kind of behavior is obviously something you can relate to. You probably call yourself a Christian, we all know what a hate filled guy Jesus was. He would think you are one of his preaching terriorism and torture, death and destruction, hate and greed. You are not fooling anyone with your "I almost like Bush" crap, I would bet the farm that you voted for him and make excuses for him without question because you are stupid, and because your heart is filled with hate and self gradification at the suffering of innocent people....a pervert.

Talk to your analyst about changing your prescription my friend; if you are this hopelessly incoherent in real life [do you have a real life?] you would have to be almost completely unemployable...............[do you want to supersize that???............]
