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!!

Release the, Chilcot, Iraq War Inquiry, final, Report!!!!

Cameron demands publication of Iraq war report
The Prime Minister has made it clear Chilcot report into the Iraq war must be published before the end of the year

Controversial: One of the main bones of contention is private notes between him and the then US President George W. Bush, which show the decision to go to war was taken long before Mr Blair indicated the measure publicly.

Tony Blair besieged as Cameron says: End the excuses and print Iraq War report
Former PM accused of trying to delay publication of Chilcot Inquiry

Well-sourced reports suggest that it will savage his handling of the conflict

Blair has argued criticism could dent Ed Miliband's General Election hopes

Comes as former Labour leader struggles to maintain his standing

3 May 2014 - David Cameron has piled the pressure on the growing crisis in Tony Blair's reputation by calling for an end to hold-ups in a long-delayed report on the Iraq War.

The former Prime Minister has been accused of trying to delay publication of the Chilcot Inquiry over well-sourced reports that it will savage his handling of the conflict.

Now Mr Cameron has stepped into the dispute by making it clear Sir John Chilcot's findings should be made public as soon as possible.

Under pressure: Tony Blair has been accused of trying to delay publication of the Chilcot Inquiry over well-sourced reports that it will savage his handling of the conflict

It follows claims that Mr Blair and Labour hope to delay the report until after next year's General Election, arguing any criticism of the last Labour Government could hit Ed Miliband's hopes of success.

The PM believes there is no excuse for any further lengthy delay in publishing Chilcot, said a No10 aide.

It would be unreasonable to postpone it beyond the next Election. read more>>>

It is time to stop hiding the truth about why we went to war in Iraq

Blair's war, a reek of whitewash and why Britain's corroded trust in politicians might never recover:

In the above link, soon to be released and with redacted bush/blair private conversations which have been holding up the release, is the site of the often called 'Chilcot Inquiry', you will find these from the early public testimony and much more:

24 November 2009 - Even before Bush's administration came to power an article written by his then national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, warned that "nothing will change" in Iraq until Saddam was gone

27 November 2009 - But there was a 'sea change' in attitude after the atrocities, with former national security adviser Condoleezza Rice targeting Iraq on the very day of the outrage.

30 November 2009 - George Bush tried to make a connection between Iraq and al-Qaida in a conversation with Tony Blair three days after the 9/11 attacks, according to Blair's foreign policy adviser of the time.

1 December 2009 - There was "a touching belief [in Washington] that we shouldn't worry so much about the aftermath because it was all going to be sweetness and light".

3 December 2009 - Boyce mentions the "dysfunctionalism" of Washington. He says that he would find himself briefing his American counterparts on what was happening in different parts of the US administration. Rumsfeld was not sharing information

Iraq War Promoted Terrorism Rather Than Reducing It
About time that reality started being brought into the very few discussions of the very quick abandoning of the missions and those sent by America after 9/11 thus all participating! I don't know if the Brits have yet to pay for any of it, doubt it, especially the Iraq invasion, do know the Americans haven't. But do know that they certainly haven't paid for the results from in regards to those who sacrificed and went, Americans, DeJa-Vu all over again, certainly haven't, as their Veterans of are going through what this Countries Veterans are, once again, as to the responsibility of fully funding the VA and sacrificing as they demanded those sent and their families do, and from reports in many cases even worse! And we won't here much, actually almost nothing, from the 'free press' of the once U.S. democracy, as they promoted and then went silent on accountability, but are quick to jump into the conservative rants on laying blame on the Veterans' Administration!

Britain's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan was 'strategic failure', claims report
24 April 2014 - Britain'€™s involvement in the Iraq War promoted terrorism rather than reducing it and was a 'strategic failure'€, according to a major new report which estimated the cost of all UK conflicts since the end of the Cold War.

The Royal United Services Institute said the UK could face a bill of nearly £65bn, once the cost of long-term care for injured veterans was factored in, with most of the money was spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The study, called Wars in Peace, said both conflicts were largely 'strategic failures' for the UK, The Guardian reported. Other failures in the modern era included: peacekeeping in Bosnia in the early 1990s and air strikes in Libya in 2011.

However, it said there had also been a number of successes, such as the first Iraq war in 1991, the no-fly zones set up over Iraq, the Kosovo war in 1999, Sierra Leone in 2000 and initial operations in Afghanistan in 2001.

The Royal United Services Institute said there was 'no longer any serious disagreement' that the UK's involvement in the 2003 Iraq invasion had helped radicalise young British Muslims. read more>>>

TX-19 Congressional Candidate Neal Marchbanks - Veteran: 28 March 2014 - "Congress controls the budget for the VA and it is the fault of Congress that the VA does not have enough employees and that the facilities are too small."
Congress, in Veteran Marchbanks statement, are the people served and who representatives work for, or are supposed to!

Sen. Bernie Sanders told Republicans: "If you can't afford to take care of your veterans, than don't go war. These people are bearing the brunt of what war is about, We have a moral obligation to support them." February, 26th, 2014

And said many times over the past decade plus, as the occupation, abandoned missions and those sent so quickly after 9/11, in Afghanistan winds down, we will be living with the results from for the next decades. We already have been, and so have many others in a number of regions of this planet!
