Kudos to the UK people and Sir John Chilcot

My country, the USA, should have an equivalent inquiry into the Iraq war and an equivalent report about that lying sociopath Bush. Alas, it will probably never happen.

This is one page we Americans need to take from you Brits. Again, my kudos to your people. The Chilcot report is a light to the world.

It did take too long, but at least it was extremely comprehensive, if not exhaustive. Tony Blair is another lying sociopath. He will go to his grave known as one of the worst, if not THE worst, UK Prime Minister of all history.

It sort of makes up a little for some of the rest of what it gets up to!

I see Blair in his vast squid-cloud of a post-report statement ultimately relied on the "Saddam's gone - good thing" defence.

Sound suspiciously like regime change. Naughty.
