IT is time that Blair, Hoon and Man of Straw stopped treating the people of this country with contempt and gave us hard facts, and not spin, about Iraq.
Fact 1: No weapons of mass destruction have been found, nor indeed is there any concrete evidence that there are any to find.
Fact 2: Saddam is a tyrant with a terrible record on human rights but he was just the same when the USA and the UK were his main weapons suppliers when he was at war with Iran, but that suited the USA and UK, so his record was OK then.
Fact 3: No direct links have been made with Iraq and any terrorist group. However, direct links between certain people in the USA and the IRA are a fact.
Fact 4: Colin Powell told the USA senate that, after the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the Middle East would be reshaped and that the reshaping would be to the benefit of the USA. To my way of thinking, that means the USA gets control of Iraq's oil and that is what this is all about. It will not be a war, it will be a massacre and the innocent civilians will suffer most.
