An artilce in the Guardian exposing the fact that "military commanders are expected to tell the inquiry into the Iraq war, which opens on Tuesday [24th November 2009], that the invasion was ill-conceived and that preparations were sabotaged by Tony Blair's government's attempts to mislead the public."

"Significantly, the documents support what officials have earlier admitted – that the army was not allowed to prepare properly for the Iraq invasion in 2002 so as not to alert parliament and the UN that Blair was already determined to go to war."
