Chilcot report on Iraq War 'won't come out for 10 MONTHS because it was so badly written'

Author Tom Bower, who says he's interviewed 180 senior figures, has made the shock claim after a torturous week for dead soldiers' relatives

30 August 2015 - The Chilcot report on the Iraq War may only come out next June because it was 'so badly written' that military chiefs have forced the inquiry to be reopened, it's been reported.

Author Tom Bower, who says he's interviewed 180 cabinet, Army and Whitehall figures for a new book, has made the shock claim after a torturous week for dead soldiers' relatives.

Inquiry leader Sir John Chilcot has refused to name a date for his six-year report's publication despite missing a deadline to do so laid down by the families - who have threatened to sue him.

He claimed to understand the 'anguish' of families who lost loved ones but he insisted the costly report must be 'fair'.

Inquiry staff say the delay is due to the 'Maxwellisation' process of having to contact people who've been criticised, but insist this is almost complete.

Mr Bower, however, claims the problems run deeper after military chiefs objected to passages blaming them for acts which were politicians' responsibility.

"The generals and admirals protested that they had properly obeyed their legal orders," he wrote in the Sunday Times, adding: "The draft was so badly written that parts were incomprehensible." read more>>>

Politicians were Iraq’s original sinners, military tells Chilcot

"It's a shame Brian Williams will be the only person ever punished for lying about Iraq"

And now Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after the Whole Country Abandoned the Missions and those sent to Accomplish, and still haven't paid for either nor the long term results from and that includes the VA their responsibility, so extremely quickly after 9/11!!

* * * Iraq War Promoted Terrorism Rather Than Reducing It * * * 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."

Facts: Matthew Hoh {former Marine and foreign service officer in Afghanistan}: "We spend a trillion dollars a year on national security in this country."
"And when you add up to the Department of Defense, Department of State, CIA, Veterans Affairs, interest on debt, the number that strikes me the most about how much we're committed financially to these wars and to our current policies is we have spent $250 billion already just on interest payments on the debt we've incurred for the Iraq and Afghan wars." 26 September 2014

Bob Herbert "Losing Our Way" : "And then the staggering costs of these wars, which are borne by the taxpayers. I mean, one of the things that was insane was that, as we're at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush administration cut taxes. This has never been done in American history. The idea of cutting taxes while you're going to war is just crazy. I mean, it's madness." Bill 'Moyers and Company': Restoring an America That Has Lost its Way 10 Oct. 2014

Neither of these recent wars have yet been paid for, let alone the results from, including the long ignored or outright denied existence of, till this Administrations Cabinet and Gen Shinseki, only Government branch consistent for the past six years, issues! As well as under deficits most of the, grossly under funded, VA budget is still borrowed thus added, problem creating, costs that shouldn't exist!
