1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,040
i'm one of the people who was right

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,240
about iraq

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,160
itn

4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,440
were some of the people who were very

5
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,440
badly wrong

6
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,679
and treated people like me as if we were

7
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,920
liars or idiots or both

8
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:17,199
when we told you exactly what everyone

9
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,119
now knows

10
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:20,960
that the government's case for the

11
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:22,720
invasion of iraq

12
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,160
was a pack of lies

13
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,400
and that

14
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,000
disaster would be the result

15
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,640
there's not many people will contest

16
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
either of these two points now

17
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,399
so

18
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,960
the chief perpetrator of a very big

19
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:38,160
crime is just a few yards from us inside

20
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,920
this building

21
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,840
and i didn't want to lose the

22
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,960
opportunity of

23
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,920
shouting

24
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,480
my feelings about him as he went in

25
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,800
however like the coward that he is he

26
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:52,320
snuck in through a back door

27
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,600
before uh

28
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,079
light

29
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,480
and avoided us today he can run but he

30
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:00,879
can't hide there is a coward he's ready

31
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,760
to fight to the last drop of other

32
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:05,040
people's blood he's ready to send other

33
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,760
mother sons

34
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,200
uh to their graves in these wars he

35
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,680
would never dream of sending his own

36
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,799
children and he can't even face

37
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,119
his accusers uh by entering through the

38
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:18,960
front door of a tribunal in the way that

39
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:21,040
every other witness has

40
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:23,600
well it was a hand-picked group of

41
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,880
establishment flunkies as i described it

42
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,439
in the house of commons on the day it

43
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,360
was appointed and its terms of reference

44
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:31,200
were deliberately limited

45
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,880
so that it could come up with the least

46
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,880
damaging conclusions

47
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,720
but the blood stain is spreading as a

48
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,479
result of this

49
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,960
inquiry

50
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:44,799
and it's a spot that will not out

51
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:47,600
in shakespeare's words uh no amount of

52
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,320
establishment flanking them can hide the

53
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:53,759
fact that it is obvious

54
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:56,399
that a pack of lies were told a disaster

55
00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:58,479
was the result and that a crime under

56
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:00,880
international law has almost certainly

57
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:03,360
taken place my question is how can he

58
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,040
possibly sleep at night let alone be a

59
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,640
roman catholic and take confession i

60
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,319
don't understand that but uh i expect

61
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:12,959
that over six hours

62
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:14,560
he will be

63
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:17,120
questioned on the principle that even a

64
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,520
stopped clock is right twice a day even

65
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,760
this panel over six hours is bound to

66
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,680
ask some difficult question and we'll

67
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,560
see what the outcome is well i think if

68
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,720
you killed somebody

69
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,720
and went on trial for murder

70
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,440
and your defense was

71
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,519
that although the person had no weapon

72
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,720
although the person made no move against

73
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:38,560
you

74
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,879
you believed that in their mind that one

75
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,360
day they were going to harm you

76
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:45,440
your plea of self-defense would be given

77
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,280
short shift and you would end up in

78
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,680
prison for murder and that's where mr

79
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,680
blair should be
