or not tony blair. if i may move on, the other issue which i think is important is postwar planning. that has been touched on. this is my final point, mr. speaker. chilcot devastatingly, highlights the total absence of adequate planning for what would happen after the war. what the long-term strategy was for iraq, if ever there was a mistake that should never be repeated, it is the idea that we go into another military intervention with no idea of its consequences, no plan for the aftermath, no long-term strategy, and yet, and yet, it has the exact hallmark of all the outgoing prime minister's interventions. again, again, we can see the evidence in libya. the prime minister in the words of president obama "became distracted." regime havedafi been overthrown, and arduous test the postwar reconstruction, it was all but ignored. risen with factionism and violence. that thisrned space created was an invitation to a churchestablish edict foothold on the libyan coast. it is a stain on the government that has

but that is all about tony blair. but the rest of the speech illustrated why it is very largely about tony blair. in the chicalcot report, let me quote, but it is anonymous in the report on page 58 and 59, goes through the sequence of decision making made from november of 2001 until the onset of the war. it wasn't just government but it if was it was very small. the decisions were made with the prime minister and a very, very few of his advisors chilcot finds not many members discussed the crucial decisions that were listed on 58 and 59. the decision that at the beginning of 2001 to offer dealing with iraq as part of phase two on the war on terror despite the evidence there was no evidence of involvement in what happened in america. they found no evidence of weapon of mass destruction and only limited support for the second round and all of these decisions made, a vote referenced to a subcommittee and a consultation with a range of colleagues, so when the prime minister concluded yes, week, in a way that chilcot wasn'
