THE MOTHER OF ALL WHITEWASHES!

LEST WE FORGET

THE IRAQ WAR SO FAR:

CAUSE: Britain accused Iraq of failing to meet UN resolutions on weapons of mass destruction. Intelligence reports about Saddam's arsenal later found faulty.
RESPONSE: Britain contributed 43,000 troops to mainly-American 300,000-strong force. Claims that a UN resolution justified the invasion widely rejected.
DURATION: Iraqi resistance crushed within six weeks but power vacuum has led to six years of bloody insurgency. Longer than the second world war.
DEATH TOLL: 179 British servicemen and women. 4,310 Americans. Iraqi deaths put at 100,000.
WOUNDED: Likely to top 5,000. More than 3,500 British troops have been treated in field hospitals since 2006.
COST: Estimated £6.5billion, and rising, so that Blair could prove how MACHO he was.
VERDICT: Poor post-war planning allowed insurgency to take hold. UK forces lost control
