Top Britian Military Man vows to take Blair down with him for WAR CRIMES.
---HOLY SHIT---
FORCES CHIEF BLASTS BLAIR
The man who led Britain's armed forces into Iraq says Tony Blair will join British soldiers in the dock if the military is ever prosecuted for war crimes.
The newspaper interview with former Chief of Defence Staff Admiral Sir Michael Boyce, brings Iraq back into the election spotlight.
Sir Michael's interview in the Oberver also comes as two other newspapers make claims that Mr Blair had been committed to war in Iraq from the outset because he wanted regime change.
Sir Michael said he did not have full legal cover from prosecution at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
He told the newspaper: "If my soldiers went to jail and I did, some other people would go with me.
"I wanted to make sure sure that we had this anchor which has been signed by the government law officer. It may not stop us from being charged, but my God, it would make sure other people were brought into the frame as well."
Pressed if he meant Tony Blair, he replied: "Too bloody right."
The former defence chief added that he had never been shown the crucial March 7 advice by Attorney General Lord Goldsmith that questioned whether the war was legal.
He had only been given a later assurance of legality which contained none of the caveats.
In another damaging development for Mr Blair, The Sunday Times says it has obtained Downing Street documents that show the Prime Minister was privately committed to war long before a decision was taken by Parliament.
It says Mr Blair was discussing the possibility of regime change in Iraq in July 2002.
At that time the arguments publicly revolved around a breach of UN sanctions by Iraq being the only justification for war.
Another leaked document published in the Independent on Sunday suggests the Foreign Office had severe doubts about the March 2003 invasion.
The claims come days after the Government was forced to publish the Attorney General's original advice on the legal basis of the war.
The Government had refused to publish it for almost two years - but was forced to after another leak.
