Re Bliar's UN job
Re Bliar's UN job
I could be wrong (not unusual per the wife) but isn't Bliar's UN job on a 'Pro Bono' basis?
Though doubtlesss his current Expense Account will be even more interesting than his one's from No 10!!!

""There is only one reason that the inquiry is being heard in private and that is to protect past and present members of this Government

re Bliar's salary, I think it is something ludocrous like £650k. Plus he has a suite constantly ready for him at some 5* hotel out there.
And the t****r was invisible when Israel & Palestine kicked off again a few months back.
I need to go and lie down.

For those who can stomach listening to the slimy little turd's excuses, Bliar's appearance in front of the Chilcot inquiry is now being broadcast live on BBC News 24 and Sky News.
Gentlemen:
I find your responses to the (stated) attempt to develop some valid "lessons learned" curious, given that you are members of the aviation profession.
We have learned the hard way in aviation that without "permission to speak freely" and the privilege of a safety investigation, a great many tidbits of data, fact, and experience would never come to the surface from which we, as aviation professionals, can and do learn lessons that can be applied to improve the profession.
It is possible that, without the freedom to "speak freely and without attribution," few to none of the important bits of info and background that might be useful for a lessons learned from this mishap (as involvement in the Iraq War appears to be viewed in the UK).
Then again, this is politics and politicians, so it might all be what that nice pictures suggests, a whitewash.
But, maybe, something we in the aviation business do can be effectively applied to other realms?

The whole exercise is pointless.
It was obvious to millions of people that the reason/s for war were lies prior to the invasion.
It is now pretty much accepted that bliar sent soldiers to die on the basis of those lies.
If there was any validity/point to the inquiry, bliar would already be in jail.
He's not in jail and never will be, therefore it's a pointless exercise.
A whole country of Iraqis & Afghans is not worth the life of 1 British soldier even with bliars BS reasons, let alone with the truth.
Peace envoy......that's like giving Hitler a job as a Gas fitter.
