What the petition asks
Tony Blair lied to the uk people which led to the Iraq invasion and the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives on all sides as the country descended into a sectarian civil war, the death toll mounted & now has become a breeding ground for ISIL which targets uk civilians while me Blair is safe.
Tony Blair ordered naval forces to prepare for the Iraq war before the decision to invade Iraq was officially announced, the former Royal Navy first sea lord has claimed.
Admiral Lord West, who was the naval chief when Mr Blair announced the start of the Iraq War, said “some bastard" told him to prepare for the war before the announcement was made, but that "they were looking for a reason to actually do it."
The decision to go to war was made and Blair had to fool us to believe Sadam had WMD
