Downing Street brushed aside calls from Sir John Major for a full inquiry into the Iraq war after a former British diplomat revealed that the Government had not believed that Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) posed a threat to the UK.

Sir John Major called for an independent inquiry

Sir John backed an investigation after the publication of evidence submitted to the Butler inquiry into Iraq by Carne Ross, Britain's former First Secretary at the United Nations.

Mr Ross's damning three-page testimony raises fresh questions about Tony Blair's justification for the war and states that there had been "no intelligence evidence" that Saddam had chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. He added that British officials had repeatedly warned the US that the dictator's overthrow would trigger "chaos

".

Wow, one traitor trying to get another traitor in trouble. Like a couple of weasles fighting in a sack.

I think it shames this country that Blair isn't in prison for starting a war on lies. It will certainly go down in hitstory as a black mark against Britains name. We have our own Nam now.

For the first time since Vietnam, an organized, robust movement of active-duty US military personnel has publicly surfaced to oppose a war in which they are serving. Those involved plan to petition Congress to withdraw American troops from Iraq. (Note: A complete version of this report will appear next week in the print and online editions of The Nation.)

After appearing only seven weeks ago on the Internet, the Appeal for Redress, brainchild of 29-year-old Navy seaman Jonathan Hutto, has already been signed by nearly 1,000 US soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen, including dozens of officers--most of whom are on active duty. Not since 1969, when some 1,300 active-duty military personnel signed an open letter in the New York Times opposing the war in Vietnam, has there been such a dramatic barometer of rising military dissent.

It must be sould destroying seeing the mess you have been ordered to create on a pack of lies.
