Spin doctor's claims in latest book contradict media mogul's evidence at Leveson Inquiry.
16 June 2012 - Rupert Murdoch launched an “over-crude” campaign to force Tony Blair to speed up Britain's entry into the Iraq war, according to the final volume of Alastair Campbell's diaries.
Mr Blair's former communications director accuses the media mogul of being part of a drive by American Republicans to drag Britain into the controversial war a week before the House of Commons even voted to approve the intervention in 2003.

Especially as to those not sending any troops and for the CIA secret prisons. But then we find out that congress had the legal ability to do insider trading, only changed recently, so who in congress started buying and trading off the no bid contracts and more from their knowledge especially in the private meetings, congressional republicans mostly, with that administration related to the beating of the war drums, growing louder and louder as they started abandoning the main mission of why we even sent soldiers into that region, leading to 'shock and awe' bombing and long occupation of!
Still waiting impatiently for the final report on the Chilcot Brit Iraq War Inquiry, already delayed by months, to come out sometime this summer. And as these reports keep coming out wondering how much of the closed door parts of that inquiry will be released or redacted if even seen.
