just read this report on the BBC website ..
BBC News - Removal of Saddam Hussein 'right', says Tony Blair
where ex PM Tony Blair uses as an excuse for going to war Saddams previous use of chemical weapons 12 years earlier as a reason for invading Iraq ............
DOH .......12 years earlier ( British Govt.& the US had been supporting and encouraging Saddam Hussien in his war against Iran going back to the first Iraqi attacks on Iran in 1980 as away of toppling the Ayatollahs ) .
Question for Greg Pope (Local MP) why did you and the Labour party support an invasion of a former friend ....lets face it the North Atlantic allicance gave him 'carte blance' to go to war against Iran and a few years later to invade Kuwait and then said "oops" ...........
Further question for the sitting member for Hyndburn and prospective candidates ...do you support the build up of "Nato" forces in countries bordering on Iran .
sorry for the ramble but think its time to bring back the ducking stool for all politicians (local , national and international )
