A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
There is no doubt about it: Tony Blair was on the warpath from early 2002 | 18 Oct 2015 | If anybody still seriously doubted that Tony Blair assured George W Bush, up to a year before the war began, that Britain's Labour government would support a US invasion of Iraq, then the March 2002 internal memo from Colin Powell published on Sunday should finally lay such doubts to rest. Although in reality, the former US secretary of state's memo is mere additional confirmation of what is already broadly known, it is likely to add to the pressure on Sir John Chilcot's long-delayed Iraq war inquiry to clear up the controversy over Blair's intentions and undertakings in the run-up to war. In public, Blair continued to insist throughout 2002 that he had taken no decision on whether to support the invasion that eventually began in March 2003.
