A key Blair motivation for 2003 Iraq invasion?

Did Blair express here a key motivation for the Iraq invasion? From the declassified record on the 2003 Iraq invasion published as part of the Chilcot Inquiry.
"we must galvanise British businesses to take up opportunities in Iraq" [1].
This was just a few of months into the invasion, about 6 months after MOD policy director Simon Webb floated the idea that:
"Various ideas for replacements [for Saddam Hussein] have been aired over the years and none so far look convincing. But another Ba'athist or military dictator from the Sunni/Tikriti minority might be found with whom we could do business" - Simon Webb, UK MOD Policy Director 2001-2004 [2]

You fund it so they do it

People keep whining about their governments, yet you keep funding these war criminals and thugs. If you follow the teachings of Jesus, he said "let him who hath no sins cast the first stone", which means you are supposed to pay attention to your own crimes and deal with them. But you people just keep working for them and funding them with taxes. If you want to change things, if you want to stop terrorism, war, oppression then stop funding it, and stop participating in this corporate fascist nightmare.

"You're wasting precious time"

This is a pretty stark wake up call to the elite!

Ordinary Americans are stirring

Now here is a guy with some things he really seems to need to get of his chest. He is a small time radio host, but I'm wondering how many more like him there are Many?



The Young Turks are making similar noises though still talking in terms of power structures rather than freedom. That's 2 that I know of. If there are many, that would be a significant network of grass roots support for a revolution in the US.

Soldiers Speak Out

Here is a 4 something minute trailer to what looks to me like an excellent documentary on what rulers send their proletariate to do:

"A powerful first-hand testament to the reality of the military experience, told in the words of Americaan veterans who have been to war and now oppose it. An important counterpoint to the "stay the course" rhetoric of the Bush administration."

No Graven Images

"Pakistan brings in bulldozers to destroy any chance of spot where al-Qa'ida leader died becoming shrine." writes Andrew Buncombe of the Independent in his article "Bin Laden's last refuge is razed in the dead of night".

But of course the likes of Bush, Obama, Blair and Cameron will be given full state honours? The stench of hypocrisy should stain the consciences of everyone in the 'free world'! Everyone who pays tax to fund these terrorists and war criminals, who buys the goods of their corporations and those of their subsidiaries, those who voted lending credibility to this system instead of voting with the sound of tearing paper, everyone who cheered for 'our boys' whilst they were out there murdering Iraqis, Afghanis, Libyans, Pakistanis, and now in all likelihood Syrians under the guise of 'Al Qaeda', whilst we are starving the 74 million Iranian people to death for the heinous crime of being in the way of our rich men's oil.

Until you have hung your head in shame, you will never begin to do what you should have done long ago.
