This from today’s DET:
CITY MP Margaret Beckett will give evidence to the Chilcot Inquiry today about her time as a member of the cabinet during the Iraq War.
The MP for Derby South served as Foreign Secretary under Tony Blair for a year from 2006, but was also a cabinet member for five years during the build-up to the invasion and the war’s early stages.
So far in the inquiry, witnesses have raised questions over whether there was a sufficient legal basis for the war and whether the cabinet was given a chance to properly discuss concerns.
Despite that, Mrs Beckett is expected to defend Mr Blair’s decision to invade Iraq and say that the cabinet was kept well informed about diplomatic negotiations and intelligence reports. Speaking before her appearance, she said: “I wouldn’t say that I didn’t have my doubts. We all had our doubts. We all had our worries and concerns.
“But I’m not someone who is going to pretend now that I didn’t make a harsh and terrible choice in the best conscience I could on the evidence that was in front of us.”
Mrs Beckett added that the overwhelming intelligence had been that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction and that the UK had to act.
The inquiry, headed by Sir John Chilcot, has already heard from Derby-born MP and ex-Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon, who told how the Treasury, led by then-Chancellor Gordon Brown, had starved the armed forces of cash during the years before the war.
Yes, How did the Conservatives manage to get £17.8 million into their 1992 election coffers.
Well, the Conservatives took over £80 Million out of the States Funds to purchase 3 South African Nukes from Weapons Dealer JOHN BREDENKAMP, and then had the nerve to silt away £17.8 of the Cash.
The Money Laundering exposed in the HANSEN
1993 June 22 Parliamentary records from Col 197 onwards.
Now, the 9 Nukes, jointly made in RSA with the Israeli Scientists near Pretoria,were removed by OUR MOD overseen by DR DAVID KELLY, nudge nudge wink wink.
There were 10 in total, one test fired to the South of South Africa.
Of the other 9, 6 were sent to the USA ans De-Commissioned and their Fissile material returned to RSA.
The other 3 bought from Bredenkamp were diverted to OMAN and held in case SADDAM tried to use CHEMICAL or GAS attacks against NATO Forces in the retake of KUWAIT.
But Then BREDENKAMP stole them again and placed them for sale on the OPEN Market to the Highest bidder.
One went off in 2009 in NORTH KOREA
The other 2 are still missing, and that’s why the ISRAELI, MILITARY have just intercepted the Naval Convoy, of GAZA.
So, lets get the WAR CRIMES TRIAL Going for
THATCHER, JONATHAN AITKEN, TONY BLAIR, ALISTAIR CAMBELL, GORDON BROWN, who were all privy to this CRIMINAL ACT.
You might recall they were all to quick to sling a rope around SADDAM’s neck.
This the TRUTH will all come out, I will make sure.
YOU CAN RUN, BUT TRUST ME, YOU WON’T HIDE
