Parliamentary Report Confirms What the Alternative Media Has Been Saying for Years
The UK Parliament just confirmed what the alternative media has been saying for years.
Specifically, a new report from the bipartisan House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee – based on interviews with all of the key British decision-makers, review of documents, and on-the-ground investigations in Africa – found that Libyan war was based on lies, that it destroyed the country, and that it spread terrorism far and wide......

SUMMARY:
In March 2011, the United Kingdom and France, with the support of the United States, led the international community to support an intervention in Libya to protect civilians from attacks by forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi. This policy was not informed by accurate intelligence. In particular, the Government failed to identify that the threat to civilians was overstated and that the rebels included a significant Islamist element. By the summer of 2011, the limited intervention to protect civilians had drifted into an opportunist policy of regime change. That policy was not underpinned by a strategy to support and shape post-Gaddafi Libya. The result was political and economic collapse, inter-militia and inter-tribal warfare, humanitarian and migrant crises, widespread human rights violations, the spread of Gaddafi regime weapons across the region and the growth of ISIL in North Africa. Through his decision making in the National Security Council, former Prime Minister David Cameron was ultimately responsible for the failure to develop a coherent Libya strategy.
Looking to the future, the United Nations has brokered the formation of an inclusive Government of National Accord (GNA). Stable government is the sine qua non for the resolution of Libya’s ongoing humanitarian, migrant, economic and security crises.
Looking to the future, the United Nations has brokered the formation of an inclusive Government of National Accord (GNA). Stable government is the sine qua non for the resolution of Libya’s ongoing humanitarian, migrant, economic and security crises.
However, regional actors are currently undermining the GNA by flouting the United Nations arms embargo and using Libyan militias as proxies. The GNA is the only game in town. If it fails, the danger is that Libya will descend into a full-scale civil war to control territory and oil resources. The international community must support the United Nations and the people of Libya by uniting behind the GNA; the alternative is political fragmentation, internecine violence, economic collapse and even more human suffering......READ MORE: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201617/cmselect/cmfaff/119/119.pdf
Chilcot report: key points from the Iraq inquiry
Sir John Chilcot: Iraq military action was not a last resort |
The inquiry’s main points regarding Tony Blair’s decision to go to war, how he put his case and the postwar occupation.
The Chilcot inquiry has delivered a damning verdict on the decision by former prime minister Tony Blair to commit British troops to the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. It says:
The UK chose to join the invasion before peaceful options had been exhausted
Chilcot is withering about Blair’s choice to join the US invasion. He says: “We have concluded that the UK chose to join the invasion of Iraq before the peaceful options for disarmament had been exhausted. Military action at that time was not a last resort.” READ MORE: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jul/06/iraq-inquiry-key-points-from-the-chilcot-report

Denmark to Keep Iraq War Document Under Wraps
Mr. Rasmussen went along with Blair and Bush in an illegal war. Then he became Head of Nato. Then he spend his time warning Heads of States about Putin’s ‘bad’ intentions. Then he got promoted again to adviser to Ukraine’s Poroshenko. War is a great career choice.

Russian MPs say appointment of Anders Fogh Rasmussen as special adviser is a ‘hostile gesture’
The cozy shot: |
Mr.Rasmussen the reptilian shot: |
In a near mirror image of last week’s publication of the Chilcot report in the United Kingdom, after which former British PM Tony Blair came in for strong criticism, the Danish document will be blocked from public access, leaving Rasmussen shielded from similar scrutiny.
After the publication of the Chilcot report, a large quantity of information, including records of communications between Blair and former U.S. President George W. Bush, has been made available for public download.
But a 14 year-old document written by Rasmussen in the lead-up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 will not be released into the public domain, the Danish parliament’s ombudsman confirmed to Jyllands-Posten.
