CONCLUSION: It is clear that the invasion of Iraq was illegal under international law.
The damning verdict
Certainly, the war was illegal. Also, there’s no doubt that Tony Blair misrepresented the facts in order to sell the war to the House of Commons and the British people.
I am convinced, too, that the war greatly increased the threat of international terrorism to Britain.
But there is no hard evidence Tony Blair entered into any secret deal in blood with George Bush ahead of the war, as some have claimed.
The delay in publishing the official inquiry is inexcusable, particularly considering Britain is under pressure to send forces into Syria.
Never has the need to learn the lessons of Iraq been more urgent, and yet we still await the Chilcot Inquiry, a shameful seven years after the last British soldier left Iraq.
PETER OBORNE’S Chilcot Report is on Radio 4 at 8pm tonight and then on iPlayer.
