Topic Reading-Vol.1557-7/16/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Chilcot report: US 'pushed UK into Iraq War too early', says ex-ambassador
The Iraq Inquiry was announced on 15 June 2009 by then Prime Minister Gordon Brown to investigate the nation's role and involvement during and after the Iraq War between 2001 and 2009. The investigation was headed by Sir John Chilcot and took seven years to complete, nearly as long as the investigated period, and the final report was announced on 6 July 2016.
Is it worth taking several years to review an action taken over a decade ago? Absolutely for sure to the British who love learning from history.
As for Americans, who initiated the action and campaign and left Iraq still in chaos, they say they are too busy dealing with the present problems in the country.
Enjoy reading and thinking how valuable it is to learn from mistakes.
