"In cele din urma, a fost imposibil sa-l convingem sa respecte dreptul international", a continuat premierul britanic. Gordon Brown a vorbit vineri in fata comisiei de ancheta mai bine de patru ore, aparand angajamentul luat in 2003 de britanici in Irak.
Preluand modelul folosit de predecesorul sau Tony Blair in depozitia de la finele lunii ianuarie, Gordon Brown a declarat ca Londra a cautat pana la final o solutie diplomatica. "Pana in ultimul minut, (...) multi dintre noi am sperat ca va reusi calea diplomatica", a precizat el.
Intre luna martie 2003 si finalul lunii iulie 2009, data la care Marea Britanie a pus capat interventiei sale, 179 de soldati britanici au fost ucisi in Irak. Dar Gordon Brown a trebuit sa raspunda si unei alte acuze. Potrivit unor responsabili militari, el ar fi refuzat armatei o serie de "bugete strategice", inainte si in timpul razboiului din Irak.
Fostul sef al statului major britanic, lordul Charles Guthrie, a declarat ca insuficienta fondurilor acordate de Gordon Brown in perioada in care era ministru al Finantelor a costat viata soldatilor britanici in Irak si Afganistan.
In fata comisiei, primul ministru s-a aparat explicand ca "resursele financiare necesare erau disponibile" si ca nicio "restrictie financiara nu ne-ar fi impiedicat sa facem ce este necesar din punct de vedere militar".

ways than one. The French media report that Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU), apparently for the first time, at the EU summit on Feb. 11 in Brussels, abandoned her previous resistance to the establishment of a European economic government. This means that in the future,
the Council of Europe, supported by 30,000 green bureaucrats from the EU Commission - and thus, of course, a body that is not accountable to the voters—is supposed to determine economic policy in Germany.
This move toward an oligarchic dictatorship, which was foreseen in the Lisbon Treaty, will do absolutely nothing to change the fact that the financial system and thus, the Eurozone itself, are flying apart in all directions, because Spain and Great Britain are even more bankrupt than Greece. Secondly, the CDU (Christian Democratic Union) in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) is openly heading toward an alliance with the Greens, which - even without a financial crash—would drive Germany, as an industrial nation, even further into ruin, and drastically reduce the living standards of the population. That is, if it is not stopped.
The ‘Tragedy’ Is Not Greek It is quite likely that the planned European economic government would be enthroned on a corpse. For a “Greek tragedy threatens Britons,” as the Financial
Times Deutschland writes, while Jim Rogers, cofounder of the Quantum Fund, says, “I would advise you to sell any sterling you might have. It’s finished,” and Bill Cross of the Pimco investment fund warned against any investment in Great Britain, “because British gilts [government bonds] are resting on a bed of nitroglycerin.” ....
