The Chilcot Inquiry theater plods on........and will be a complete whitewash as expected, and then forgotten there after, after the political heat subsides, and a new government comes to power after May, as widely expected, which will subsequently state openly , "Honestly gov. it weren't our problem, or our doing".
The makeup of the Chilcot six member panel tells us why.
In contrast.........a country with far less involvement and consequent crimes committed in Iraq, and Afghanistan produces a different more frank perspective of the illegally prosecuted Iraq war where since the invasion of 2003................. 1,300,000 Iraqis have allegedly died and another 4,500,000 turned into internal and external refugees.
War crimes have obviously been committed in Iraq, and may well be committed in Afghanistan (The longer the occupation forces are there aimlessly), but the question is which so called civilized advanced nations have the will and the moral courage to call the Iraq situation as it really is.........and thus to an extent slow down the process of neo-imperial wars by the USA and its stooges around the globe using false manufactured pre-text simply because it happens to be the most powerful nation on earth.
Giving them Nobel prizes and encouraging pep talks of doing the right thing won't help. Governments in the USA and UK don't even listen to their own people, but on the contrary try their best to deceive them with eloquent words and sound bites.

Dutch Inquiry Finds Iraq War Illegal
By Ann Talbot
at "WSWS" via Information Clearing House - -
A Dutch commission of inquiry has concluded that the US-led 2003 Iraq war was illegal under international law. The conclusion has far-reaching implications. Potentially, it could open up leading politicians and military figures in the US and Britain to prosecution for war crimes.
(The Soviet Union effectively collapsed in 1991. There were elements in the USA who felt the moment had arrived for the USA to really become an unbridled hyper-power, unopposed by any other power for the first time in its history. There is power, and then there is power; it can be expressed in different ways........but for a Zionist clique within both the Democratic Party (Richard Holbrooke, Madeline Albright et al) and the Republican Party led by the Zionist Neocons, their perceived moment for global hegemony through American military might had arrived {Project For A New American Century 2000}. This was reinforced by Israeli geostrategic perspectives especially in the Greater Middle East {A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm 1996}.............AND the American MIC.
The above two documents tell us clearly why the USA is actually at war, along with their signatories..........everything else is just bullshit, especially Tim Osman's "al-Qaeda".
The sum total of ALL this convergence were first false flag terrorist ops in the USA VERY COINCIDENTALLY during the Democrats Party's watch....WTC 1993...6 victims.....Oklahoma City 1995....169 victims......and then World Trade Centers 2001....3000 victims.......using a mixture of the FBI and covert Israeli operators; both tightening the security within the USA, and conditioning the public to foreign wars abroad to "protect America".....AND obviously more proactive engagements involving big military operations abroad in Bosnia 1995 and later in Kosovo 1998, Sudan 1998 , Afghanistan 1998, and Iraq of course throughout the 1990's.
Obviously in such a criminal path, nations who don't share such a world view, and don't in any way benefit from such wars will more easily be able to see the folly and illegality of wars conducted involving their nations security forces especially after so many years of its actual operation and conduct. American "statesmen" for internal reasons will take a little longer. Quite the contrary their state agencies will continue to peddle lies in order to maintain this illegal criminal path; as if fixated in an addictive trance.
The Good American needs "help" from the Zionists and their peculiar world view)
Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende of the Netherlands set up the Davids Commission in order to avoid a full parliamentary inquiry into the Dutch role in the invasion of Iraq. He headed the caretaker government at the time of the invasion and has rejected the report’s findings. The fact that a commission which was set up with the intention of producing a whitewash has had to come to such damning conclusions points to the weight of evidence that exists for the illegality of the war.
(This is surprising given the influence of Zionists in the Netherlands. Before the rise of Jewish Capital in places such as London, NY, Zurich and Frankfurt, the Netherlands was a major center for Jewish Capital which FUNDED WARS around Europe {English Civil War}, AND Dutch/European colonial expansion abroad, especially in the 17th/18th century....so in such a historical country......given that the Iraq war is perceived as a proxy war for Israel........one is surprised by the findings of the Dutch Iraq Inquiry)
The attempt to maintain the lie that the war was legal is becoming increasingly difficult. The Dutch report entirely rejects the central argument used to justify the actions of the British government and claim that there was a legal basis for the invasion.
“The [UN] Security Council Resolutions on Iraq passed during the 1990s did not constitute a mandate for the US-British military intervention in 2003,” the report concludes. “Despite the existence of certain ambiguities, the wording of Resolution 1441 cannot reasonably be interpreted (as the government did) as authorizing individual Member States to use military force to compel Iraq to comply with the Security Council’s resolutions, without authorization from the Security Council.”
The report goes on: “The Dutch government’s often repeated view that a second resolution was ‘politically desirable, but not legally indispensable’ is not easy to uphold. The wording and scope of Resolution 1441 cannot be interpreted as such a second resolution. Hence, the military action had no sound mandate under international law.”
Unlike the ongoing Chilcot inquiry in Britain on the war, the Dutch team included legal experts. As Professor Philippe Sands QC, an expert on international law, has pointed out, their conclusion is significant for that reason:
“There has been no other independent assessment on the legality of the war in Iraq and the findings of this inquiry are unambiguous. It concludes that the case argued by the Dutch and British governments, including the then-attorney general, Lord Goldsmith, could not reasonably be argued.
“This is the authoritative view of seven commissioners, including the former president of the Dutch Supreme Court, a former judge of the European Court of justice, and two legal academics.”
According to Wikipedia
The Chilcot committee of inquiry, the members of which were chosen by Gordon Brown, includes:
- Sir John Chilcot (chairman), a career diplomat and senior civil servant who was previously a member of the Butler Review.
- Sir Lawrence Freedman, a military historian, and Professor of War Studies at King's College, University of London. His memo outlining five tests for liberal military intervention was used by Tony Blair in drafting his Chicago foreign policy speech.
- Sir Martin Gilbert, a historian who supported the invasion of Iraq and claimed in 2004 that George W. Bush and Tony Blair may one day "join the ranks of Roosevelt and Churchill."
- Sir Roderic Lyne, former Ambassador to Russia and to the United Nations in Geneva, previously served as private secretary to Prime Minister John Major.
- The Baroness Prashar, a crossbencher, member of the Joint Committee on Human Rights, and the current chairwoman of the Judicial Appointments Commission.
In March 2003, Goldsmith warned Blair that he could be indicted under international law if he invaded Iraq without a second resolution. But days later, just before the invasion began, he made a statement in the House of Lords in which he claimed that the war was legal.
Speaking at the Chilcot inquiry this week, Lord Trumbull, who was cabinet secretary at the time of the invasion, confirmed that Goldsmith had changed his mind about the legality of the war. Trumbull attempted to lay the blame on Blair, who, he said, had “bullied” Goldsmith into backing the war. Trumbull’s behaviour was as thoroughly hypocritical as that of previous witnesses who have attempted to excuse their own actions, or inaction, and claim that Blair alone was responsible for an illegal war.
The British political establishment is becoming increasingly uneasy about the application of international law to them and to their allies. That is why the government intends to bring in legislation that will override the principle of universal jurisdiction in Britain. This follows the issue of an arrest warrant for former Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni, who was due to visit Britain.
“The government is looking urgently at ways in which the UK system might be changed to avoid this situation arising again,” current attorney general Baroness Scotland assured an audience at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem last week. “Israel’s leaders should always be able to travel freely to the UK.”
(The UK is a Premier Zionist power....it created Israel...1918-----1947, armed and populated it whilst simultaneously suppressing the Palestinians, and provided it with Nuclear Weapons Technology from the 1950's, contrary to International law and treaties it had signed, so that Israel could make its secret nuclear bombs from the 1960's, along with France.
After the USA it is probably the most pro-Israeli government on earth, no matter what, and Like the USA has replicated its own version of 9/11, some what belatedly in 2005 of course.....there are officially 330,000 Jews in the UK, but unofficially probably closer to 1,000,000 centered around London and the other big cities.....from circa 19th century to the present when the Rothschild first set foot in the country from Germany, Jews/Zionist have gained enormous power within the British state structure, and is a significant reasons why the British State and the British public in many issues are not in Sync.
It is THIS British State which has been harassing me like irritating dogs for over two decades without the decency of explaining to me what their problems is with me, beyond the possibility of finding the answer from Qui Ja Boards, Private Soothsayers, brown calf's, sacred numbers and other such bullshit......Contrary to International Law, and of course Domestic UK law......encouraging others to follow suit....WELL BEFORE I was writing this kind of stuff here...which was about 2 years ago only...and a reaction to my peculiar "situation")
Universal jurisdiction is the well established legal principle that some crimes can be tried outside of the boundaries of the country in which they were committed, if they can be considered crimes against humanity or war crimes. It was expressed in the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi war criminals at the end of the World War II.
(International Law and International norms should not apply to God's Chosen people......but I'm in a bit of a tizzy here. Don't you need International law to help them take control of the earth? Thus shouldn't International law at least BE seen to be operating on a level playing field for it to maintain its facade of legitimacy and effectiveness in controlling the Goy via the International Jew run institutions.....UN, WB, IMF, EU)
The Nuremberg judges concluded that the trials were “not an arbitrary exercise of power on the part of victorious nations,” but were “the expression of international law.” This principle was confirmed by the United Nations in 1946 and it was expressed in the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Israel for his part in the Holocaust. In 1998, the House of Lords upheld the principle in the case of former Chilean president Augusto Pinochet, who had been arrested in London.
(After 9/11 the promising developments within International Law and good wholesome human cooperation without agenda's took a bit of a knock, and the world hasn't recovered from that tragedy since then.
Unless and until America/Israel is confronted with its set of never ending illegal wars, based on comical fake security scenarios from Schiphol Amsterdam and else where; International Law can never find its true base ever again, AND the hope for greater human cooperation on real and serious issues which vex's and affects the earth as a whole)
With regard to war crimes, the Geneva Conventions require signatory nations, such as Britain and the US, to pass the necessary laws and “provide effective penal sanctions” for persons “committing, or ordering to be committed” any “grave breaches” of the Conventions. Crucially, Article 129 goes on to state that each signatory “shall be under the obligation to search for persons alleged to have committed, or to have ordered to be committed, such grave breaches, and shall bring such persons, regardless of their nationality, before its own courts.”
Following the Davids Commission report, the Dutch government should therefore feel itself obliged to issue arrest warrants--not only for Balkenende, but for Blair and his cabinet, as well as all the senior members of the Bush administration, including the former president. Naturally, it has no intention of doing so. But that is far from being the end of the matter.
In its modern form, universal jurisdiction is a democratic principle that arises historically from the bourgeois revolutions of the late 18th century, when it was established that sovereignty resides in the people and not the state. It implies that no one is above the law and that a minister, civil servant or military officer cannot claim immunity from prosecution for crimes committed against humanity because he was acting on behalf of a state. That is why individuals and groups can, at present, apply, as Palestinians have done in the UK, for an arrest warrant against even the most senior representative of a government or the armed forces.
This situation is becoming intolerable for the international league of war criminals who head the governments of the world’s major powers. It has led to repeated efforts to curtail universal jurisdiction by the US, Israel Belgium, Spain and now Britain. In doing so, these governments and their representatives only place themselves more firmly on a collision course with the mass of the world’s population, who continue to believe that those responsible for the crimes committed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and elsewhere must be brought to justice.
