“War Criminals are Us”. British Government Supports Prosecution of War Criminals “Whoever They are.”
Global Research, July 17, 2013
On
16th July, Foreign Secretary William Hague answered questions in the
British Parliament, from the Foreign Affairs Committee on Developments
on UK Foreign Policy.
Ann
Clwyd (Labour, Cynon Valley) whose cheer-leading and misleading for the
invasion of Iraq and whose numerous visits to Iraqi Kurdistan and
alleged close friendship with Kurdish war lord, Jalal Talabani, led
Iraqis and Iraq watchers to dub her “Mrs Talabani”, is seemingly on the
war path again.
She asked the Foreign Secretary: “
… to what extent the UK government is prepared to hold the (Syrian) opposition to account, as well as Assad, for serious human rights abuses, war crimes, crimes against humanity and so on?”
Never
mind that she is seemingly ignorant of the correct form of address to
the President of a nation whose ”sovereignty and territorial integrity”
is enshrined in fine legalese at the UN – as was Iraq’s prior to the
illegal invasion.
The usually slithery Mr Hague’s answer, however, was surprisingly illuminating:
