The EU resolution -- all three of the resolutions -- were nonbinding and symbolic, which is why Nicholson skipped all of them (including the antiwar one that went up first) It matters a lot less than personally presenting a lying case for warhttps://www.politico.eu/article/mep-hands-blix-dossier-on-sites-linked-to-weapons-development/ …

Should she have withheld information she received? Handing information over for analysis by experts =\= singlehandedly dragging the UK into war. Making shit up makes you singlehandedly responsible for your own blockheadedness though.

Okay see the issue is that the information was lies, because the WMDs did not exist I was not aware this was still controversial

The Baroness received information and handed it over to the people tasked with analysing such information. Should she have withheld it?

Okay we're still not getting this She did NOT receive information Because the claims in the dossier were false, and there were no WMDs The "information" from her "sources" was blatant fucking lies Occam's Razor says she made it up, or was aware her "source" made it up

It is the year 2020 and people are out here saying that the "bad intel" about Saddam's WMDs was somehow a big plausible misunderstanding and none of the salesmen of the war did anything shady Good fucking Lord

Oh but you see the person who lied to start a war that primarily killed civilians also hates trans people, so it's ok

So the lesson here is If you come into possession of information that your country may be targeted by a hostile power and civilians killed, but you have no way of weighing up the veracity of that information, you should ignore it?

No, the lesson is you shouldn't lie that you have such information to trick the country into going to war
