Features a peaceful solution to the Iraq problem have not been exhausted before the British invasion of the country, the head of the committee that conducted the official investigation of British involvement in the Iraq campaign in 2003-2009, John Chilcot.

“We have concluded that the United Kingdom has chosen to join (for surgery) for the invasion before the possibility of peaceful disarmament had been exhausted … Military actions at the time were not the last way” – Chilcot said.

The commission’s report says that the British government has underestimated the consequences of the invasion of Iraq and sent troops into the country without the support of most members of the UN Security Council.

The report says that the threat of nuclear weapons in Iraq was because of the sanctions that were imposed on Baghdad. As a result of the decision to invade was based on “unproven data.”

“The heads of ministries (British minister) know about the weak US preparing to invade and actions after the invasion military hoped for a successful campaign -. The fall of Baghdad and the capture of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein – less than a month”, – said the Chilcot.

The risk that the invasion will increase the threat to the UK from “Al Qaeda” has been defined in advance and then-Prime Minister Tony Blair knew about it.

The report’s authors also wrote that the invasion was a mistake, the consequences of which are still being felt.

After the publication of the report of the building, the seat of the Commission, brought together dozens of people who need to punish Tony Blair, who led the British government from 1997 to 2007.

Blair himself has declared that he is ready to bear responsibility for mistakes in Iraq. The politician insists that the removal of Saddam Hussein from power was necessary.

Acting Prime Minister David Cameron said that Britain should “learn a lesson from what is contained in the report.”

“There are special institutions, including the UN Security Council to address and discuss these issues”, – said Cameron, speaking in parliament. According to him, the Parliament next week will hold a debate on the results of the Blair government’s actions investigation.

The war in Iraq began in spring 2003. Then in the country was invaded by US forces and their allies, who want to overthrow the regime of Saddam Hussein.

The issue of participation in the operation of British troops has caused a split in the cabinet of Tony Blair: Cabinet took the decision to send troops to Iraq only after the statement of the head of government that Hussein has weapons of mass destruction.
