May 22, 2011 - Campbell said in a letter to the chairman of the Iraq War Inquiry Sir John Chilcot that the remarks made by former defense intelligence official Major General Michael Laurie were not true.
Laurie, who was director general in the Defense Intelligence Staff when former Prime Minister Tony Blair decided to join the Iraq war, presented evidence to the inquirers showing the dossier compiled in September 2002 on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) was "precisely to make a case for war, rather than setting out the available intelligence".
Campbell however dismissed his evidence in the letter saying Laurie has not been involved in the process of the dossier's compilation and the Downing Street did not tell intelligence officials that the document was created to “make the case for war”.
"I do not know and have never met Major General Laurie, and was not aware of any involvement he might have had in the September 2002 dossier on Iraq's WMD," Campbell wrote.
"Witnesses who were directly involved in the drafting of the dossier have made clear to several inquiries that at no time did I put anyone in the intelligence community under pressure, or say to them or anyone else that the then prime minister's purpose in publishing the dossier was to make the case for war," he added. {continued}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
