LONDON — Leaked British government documents call into question ex-
Prime Minister Tony Blair's public statements on the buildup to the
Iraq war and show plans for the U.S.-led 2003 invasion were being made
more than a year earlier, a newspaper reported Sunday.
Britain's Sunday Telegraph published details of private statements
made by senior British military figures claiming plans were in place
months before the March 2003 invasion, but were so badly drafted they
left troops poorly equipped and ill-prepared for the conflict.
The documents — transcripts of interviews from an internal defense
ministry review of the conflict — disclose that some planning for the
Iraq war had begun in February 2002. Maj. Gen. Graeme Lamb, then head
of Britain's special forces, was quoted as saying he had been "working
the war up since early 2002," according to the newspaper.

LONDON — A panel investigating Britain's role in the Iraq war begins
questioning witnesses this week in an inquiry that critics hope will
humble former Prime Minister Tony Blair and expose alleged deception
in the buildup to conflict.
The investigation is the most sweeping probe yet into the war by any
nation that was involved.
It is expected to consider allegations Blair secretly backed President
George W. Bush plan's for invasion a year before Parliament authorized
military involvement in 2003.

Tony Blair. What an asshole. Made friends with Bush.
The planning started under Clinton, in 1998 after Congress authorized the
resumption of the war with Iraq for it ongoing violations of the first gulf
wars ceasefire agreement.
I would suggest you first do a search of the Congressional Record for the
facts before you once again chose to comment on a subject of which you
apparently have little or no knowledge, dummy.

You are a senile old man who takes too many prescription meds every
day and they are eating away at your brain.
Other presidents kept a military option in planning stages and ready
for different parts of the Middle East, just in case something
happened.
Dubya Bush planned to INVADE Iraq before he was even elected simply
because Sadam Hussein put out a hit out on Bugya's daddy. Dubya
wanted to prove to daddy and mummy he was worthwhile and Dubya wanted
to best daddy. These things are usually settle in the back yard or a
local playground, not with a military invasion and war almost half way
around the world.
The blood of every single person killed in Iraq (civilian and
military) is on Dubya's and Cheney's soul, if they have souls. The
blood may also be on your soul also for supporting such horrendous
actions.
I know how much reading taxes your brain. It is so much easier to
just repeat what Glenn Beck and Rush say.
