Illegal War was planned before the UN ever got to decide nothing......

In an updated version of his book "Lawless World,"professor of law, Phillipe Sands, has alleged Tony Blair agreed to the invasion of Iraq, in January of 2003, before the UN was even approached.

It is suggested that Bush with Blair decided on a March 10th. invasion date (The illegal war actually started 10 days after this.) and that the invasion was inevitable.

Dirty tricks were also discussed it is alleged. The assasiation of Saddam was discussed as was the tactic of getting Saddam to disobey UN demands.

The Press are running with this one.

Here's a couple of articles with more information:

The Hague beckons.

And back here at home in the Emerald Isle, I'm sure our own leaders must feel the chill. It's not down to the weather either I promise.
