Chilcot Inquiry

31st August is Malaysia's Merdeka day!

31st August too has been declared as the day when Americans "end their combat mission in Iraq".
So, is 31st August too shall be Iraq's Merdeka day?

Lets take a look briefly on the history when Iraq has been amBUSHed by the Americans and her allies. There were heated debate in the congress about going into the war in Iraq. But Bush is determined to bulldozed based on the WMD conspirancy. Years later, after extreme humiliation, more than 4,000 American soldiers death in Iraq & a few millions Iraqis death, everyone (including the US Generals & UN Security Council) confirmed that WMD is never in existance in the very first place. Embarrasing moments for the American huh?

Lets take a look into the Chilcot Inquiry which was aimed at Tony Blair. For better understanding, you can check this website:-

To be more specific, please look into this:-
http://www.iraqinquiry.org.uk/media/46499/Goldsmith-note-to-PM-30July2002.pdf

This is an actual letter from UK Attorney General to PM Blair advising him against using any force towards "giving independance" to Iraq. There are only 3 exceptions that they can go with the use of forces:-
1) Self defence
2) Exceptionally, to avert overwhelming humanitarian catastrophe
3) Authorization by UN Security Council
On Para 13, Lord Goldsmith further elaborate that "My view therefore is that in the absence of fresh resolution by the Security Council which would at least involve new determination of a material and flagrant breach, military action would be unlawful"

Then why did these two countries still go into forces when the senate has opposed and then the AG also opposed the war? Blood for oil?

This is a very starategic move indeed!

p/s "Merdeka day" is Independence day!
