It seems a bit odd how many judges or winesses have left the court what is going on maybe I not read too much about it but it seems as if there is a conspiracy to prelong the process and what for? Im not sure something sounds fishy to me.
Sir William Ehrman speaking at the inquiry
The UK received intelligence days before invading Iraq that Saddam Hussein may not have been able use chemical weapons, an adviser has said.
Foreign Office official Sir William Ehrman told the war inquiry that a report suggested that such weapons may have been "disassembled".
A separate report suggested Iraq might also "lack" warheads capable of spreading chemical agents, he added.
But Sir William defended the invasion, saying Iraq had flouted UN resolutions.
'WMD surprise'
Sir William, the Foreign Office's director general for defence and intelligence between 2002 and 2004, insisted that the role of intelligence in the decision to go to war was "limited".
He also said it was a "surprise" no weapons of mass destruction (WMD) were ever found in Iraq.
"It was not what we had expected," he added.
The reasons for going to war in Iraq - including the now discredited claim that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction which could be used within 45 minutes of an order being given - remain a long-standing source of controversy.
In its second day of public hearings, the inquiry looked into Iraq's weapons capability and its influence on the decision to go to war.

Maybe Iran and Iraq would have been friends again or maybe once Ahmajinedad started to hate Saddam he could have nuked Iraq with the help with Russian technology. Maybe they would have got together with to plot the wipeout of Israel and the war would have happened anyway.
Eitherway Iraq was going down hill, here come democracy.
