We Have Ways of Making You Talk

Prime Minister Gordon Brown is giving evidence at the Iraq Inquiry today. Scotland's answer to The Terminator is talking about his part in the whole mess. He was Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time, and as expected, the overlying gist of his testimony can be boiled down to, "I didn't do anything wrong, Gov. I just provided the money. It was Blair what did it."
I can't help wondering why this inquiry is taking place. We now have the benefit of hindsight, and unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years, you'll know that the war in Iraq was illegal. Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction and Blush knew it. That's right, I called Blair and Bush Blush, kind of like the Brangelina thing, because with those two, Blair's face was so far up Bush's arse that it was hard to tell where one ended and the other began.
I think we all know that the real reason for the war was to ensure Blush's pension and to establish military bases in the area for two reasons: 1) To control the diminishing natural resources over there. 2) To give them somewhere to strike from if and when they decide to mix it up with Iran.
One of the funniest things about it all is that Tony Blair is now a middle east envoy. Isn't that like making Hitler the ambassador to Poland?
As for Bush, he's going around doing speaking engagements. Nice one, George - play to your strengths, mate. It may be that I'm being a little harsh there, because I hear the kids at one of Texas's primary schools said his "what I did in my summer holidays" was the best since little Billy-Joe Jimbob related the fascinating story about his cousin's marriage to his sister.
I still don't know the reasoning behind this inquiry. What's it going to achieve? When it's all over, is Blush going to face criminal charges for being one of the biggest mass murderers of his generation?
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I honestly believe that the whole mess was about money, and that certain parties have made a fortune from it. Are these people going to be brought to justice for it? I doubt it. Still, as a Christian, I believe a higher court will take care of them. Perhaps the devil will take the stuff they invaded Iraq for, boil it and dip them in it. Maybe Saddam Hussein will be standing over them, laughing and saying, "I bet you wish you'd invaded Holland now, don't you, you bastards! You'd be surrounded by prostitutes, pornography and cannabis now instead of this."
At the end of the day, you have to wonder at the justice in this world when whether or not you are accused and punished as a war criminal depends on whether you won or lost.
