Secret papers withheld by Chilcot inquiry reveal Foreign Office fears over invasion
March 02, 2010 “The Independent” – An invasion of Iraq was discussed within the Government more than two years before military action was taken – with Foreign Office mandarins warning that an invasion would be illegal, that it would claim “considerable casualties” and could lead to the breakdown of Iraq, The Independent can reveal.
