Some very good points made by Mr Mackinlay regarding the Chilcott enquiry, this enquiry will not come to anything in my opinion, nobody will be held to account for Tony Blair and his cabinets catalog of lies to the House regarding WMD, Mr Blair stated in the enquiry that we were right and just to go to war against Sadam even if the WMD’s were not there as this would be for regime change, if he was so concerened about reginme change why did he not go into Zimbabwe and depose Mugabe, or even North Korea??
