Impeachment talks haunt British Prime Minister Tony Blair

Politicalaffairs.net supports Gen. Michael Rose's call for Tony Blair's impeachment after dragging Britain into the Iraq war on false pretenses.
THE writing must be on the wall for Tony Blair when such an Establishment figure as General Sir Michael Rose demands his impeachment for taking this country into the war against Iraq under false pretences.
General Rose is unequivocal that, while Mr Blair was banging on about weapons of mass destruction during the slide into war, "he probably had some other strategy in mind."
Had weapons of mass destruction been the real concern, the warmongers would have stayed their hand until UN head weapons inspector Hans Blix had completed his investigations.
This was for two reasons - first, that they had already deployed a host of troops and hardware in the region and had no intention of either repatriating them or leaving them to stew there indefinitely.
The second reason for speedy military action was that they feared that Mr Blix's investigation would conclude definitively that Iraq had no WMD, thereby undermining the US-British grounds for war.
Such a conclusion would have undermined Mr Blair personally, particularly since he had identified himself with the so-called "dodgy dossier," which claimed erroneously that Iraq was capable of launching WMD at British troops in Cyprus within 45 minutes of an order being given.
The desperate efforts of Mr Blair's official spokesman to defend the Prime Minister against the retired general's uncompromising statements boil down to the usual dog-eared justifications - four inquiries have backed the government's actions and Iraq is democratic now.
Mr Blair set the terms of all the inquiries and worked with the security services to rig the evidence and it is misleading to call Iraq is a democracy simply because the occupiers have allowed elections to take place.
While Gen Rose believes that it would be wrong to leave Iraq now, even though he accepts that the continued presence of troops is achieving little, he is mistaken.
