This could lead to a British Ex-Prime Minister being trailed for war crimes on the rebound it could also lead to an Ex-President of the USA also being put on trial.

I think the present Labour government wants Tony Blair's guts because he fooled most of his cabinet on the house of commons. The citizens also want Blair to suffer for his sins.

In fact Blair could be charged as being a traitor and even be hanged if found guilty. Traitor's still can be hung by English Law.

Military commanders are expected to tell the inquiry into the Iraq war, which opens on Tuesday, that the invasion was ill-conceived and that preparations were sabotaged by Tony Blair's government's attempts to mislead the public.

They were so shocked by the lack of preparation for the aftermath of the invasion that they believe members of the British and US governments at the time could be prosecuted for war crimes by breaching the duty outlined in the Geneva convention to safeguard civilians in a conflict, the Guardian has been told.

The lengths the Blair government took to conceal the invasion plan and the extent of military commanders' anger at what they call the government's "appalling" failures emerged as Sir John Chilcot, the inquiry's chairman, promised to produce a "full and insightful" account of how Britain was drawn into the conflict.

Fresh evidence has emerged about how Blair misled MPs by claiming in 2002 that the goal was "disarmament, not regime change". Documents show the government wanted to hide its true intentions by informing only "very small numbers" of officials.

I don't know about Tony Blair, but I know for certain that the only way America can redeem the travesty is to prosecute G. W. Bush & Company.

This is a very stupid story. Blair was by far the best PM the UK had seen in the 20th century: a dynamic figure who brought prosperity to a grim and pathetic country. Yes, he told a porky on the war but this was to a population who clapped and laughed on 9/11. A population unwilling to deal with its own role in fostering and financing the global jihad we still suffer under. So Blair told a lie to a lazy, drunk, dishonest, violent population who only care about the price of their property investments? Boo-hoo!

I thought that was Maggy Thatcher and at least she took the country to an honest war and handed the country over in a good condition. Blair was part of a Scottish team of semi communist that wanted to destroy Britain and all of them are traitors, lol

Blair was a protest vote ! The UK boomed on made up money, and then crashed the same as the USA. A fake property boom, based on building restrictions, sounds like mob tactics to me.

Iraq War Inquiry 'Will Not Be A Whitewash' Says Sir John Chilcot -- The Telegraph

The inquiry into events surrounding the Iraq war will not produce a report that is a "whitewash", Sir John Chilcot, the man in charge of it, has insisted.

Sir John denied that his background in the heart of the establishment would compromise his independence.

"All five members of the committee, myself included, are now completely independent, from different perspectives and different bodies of experience," he said.
