The Iraq war was all about now, and what we'll face sometime soon. Our governments knew back in 2003 that our countries dependency on OIL was very high, and that something needed to be done... *Bright Idea* Iraq, massive oil reserve's, but how could we do this? *Bright Idea* terrorist's, and WMD's...okie, get to work and create up plans.

Sorry, but I had to it, and I'm sure someone could do a much better job... even though it's not a laughing matter. But, thats really how it happened and ofcourse, abit more detailed than that.

1# thats about it Joseph, every violent conflict involving all the major powers is about the control of oil or natural resourses. where was the PMs moral compass and Labours ethical foreign policy.

After the debacle of the 70's oil crisis, there was no way the U.S. was going to let any hostile government put a foot on their throat again. If Bush and Co. would just admit that, we could call still call them war-mongering fanatics but at least they'd be honest war-mongering fanatics.

I look forward to the details becoming public. Hope it will come in time for the Glenrothes By-election so that the Liebour party can be seen for the war-mongers it really is.

Perhaps the Information Commissioner has ordered the release of information but what is the betting that the Government will 'lose' it? They seem to lose a lot of computer files on pensions, social security, tax, etc. which are fundamental things. Can we realistically expect them to know where the security files on WMDs is?

They should have been given 45 minutes to release the dossier.
