Comments on: Iraq War Inquiry http://www.bethanjenkinsblog.org.uk/iraq-war-inquiry Plaid Assembly Member for South Wales West including Aberavon, Bridgend, Gower, Neath, Ogmore, Port Talbot and Swansea Fri, 02 Dec 2011 22:13:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Bethan http://www.bethanjenkinsblog.org.uk/iraq-war-inquiry/comment-page-1#comment-3295 Bethan Tue, 23 Jun 2009 10:07:44 +0000 http://www.bethanjenkinsblog.org.uk/iraq-war-inquiry#comment-3295 David- I think you should qualify what you say in terms of your statement that Plaid are not addressing issues affecting people tomorrow- two Welsh hostages have just been killed in Iraq. Surely that is of importance to the people of Wales? Welsh soldiers fought in Iraq, and their families are affected, there are Iraqi families living in Wales. They deserve to be represented. I work on other issues such as provision for eating disorders in Wales, IVF treatment, sevices for disabled people etc. Perhaps you should look at my website- www.bethanjenkins.org.uk to find out.

So, there is going to be an inquiry, so let it take place. Now to issues affecting people tomorrow morning! Silence from Plaid. Now can we get back to discussing issues that will impact on the lives of people in the future, and not wait with barely concealed excitement for some fruitful conclusions that may possibly come out of the inquiry which you can then spin for some short term populist advantage. Isn't this what Plaid Cymru is all about (apart from Independence)? Nothing to say about the main issues of the day and the future, and so with the paucity of your policy basket in the full glare of the public, you are reduced to harping on about an issue that has now past and cannot be changed. You are way behind the curve Bethan, must do better next time. Spend less time listening to your friend Adam would be a start! Bethan,

I still believe that it was the wrong decision to occupy Iraq.

It is very easy to say this from the comfort of your Cardiff Bay office. A little bit harder if you are an Iraqi living under Saddam, whose every movement is watched and lives with the constant threat of torture. History is littered with examples of honest people who stood up only to be brutally dealt with. Many Iraqi's are extremely pleased that politicians such as Blair had the guts to do something rather than turning round and saying sort yourself out. “but that any move to change the system, or campaign for his removal should have come from Iraqis, led by Iraqi’s- not external forces such as Britain and the USA.”
