THE MOST FEARED TYPHOON
Sir John Chilcot delivers highly critical verdict on Iraq war but ex-PM says: ‘I believe we made the right decision’.
A defiant Tony Blair defended his decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003 following the publication of a devastating report by Sir John Chilcot, which mauled the ex-prime minister’s reputation and said that at the time of the 2003 invasion Saddam Hussein “posed no imminent threat”.
Looking tired, his voice sometimes croaking with emotion, Blair described his decision to join the US attack as “the hardest, most momentous, most agonising decision I took in 10 years as British prime minister”.
He said he felt “deeply and sincerely ... the grief and suffering of those who lost ones they loved in Iraq”.
The report also bitterly criticised the way in which Blair made the case for Britain to go to war. It said the notorious dossier presented in September 2002 by Blair to the House of Commons did not support his claim that Iraq had a growing programme of chemical and biological weapons.
The then Labour government also failed to anticipate the war’s disastrous consequences, the report said. They included the deaths of “at least 150,000 Iraqis – and probably many more – most of them civilians” and “more than a million people displaced”. “The people of Iraq have suffered greatly,” Chilcot said.
The report concluded:
• There was no imminent threat from Saddam Hussein.
• The strategy of containment could have been adopted and continued for some time.
• The judgments about the severity of the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction – WMDs – were presented with a certainty that was not justified.
• Despite explicit warnings, the consequences of the invasion were underestimated. The planning and preparations for Iraq after Saddam were wholly inadequate.
• The widespread perception that the September 2002 dossier distorted intelligence produced a “damaging legacy”, undermining trust and confidence in politicians.
• The government failed to achieve its stated objectives.
Chilcot rejected Blair’s view that spurning the US-led military alliance against Iraq would have done major damage to London’s relations with Washington. “It’s questionable it would have broken the partnership,” he writes, noting that the two sides had taken different views on other major issues including the Suez crisis, the Vietnam war and the Falklands.

As part of his remit, Chilcot also set out what lessons could be learned. He said that Blair “overestimated his ability to influence US decisions on Iraq”.
He added: “The UK’s relationship with the US has proved strong enough over time to bear the weight of honest disagreement. It does not require unconditional support where our interest or judgments differ.”

To
part confession, relay test. Long ago that we have been documenting the
conflict in Syria to respond to external interests from other countries, whose
goal, at least in appearance, is the destabilise the regime of President Bachar
Al-Assad. Syria is for the White House one of the "States villains"
accused of financing terrorism and suppress democratic rights, applying a
ruthless repression.........
A report by the British Parliament shows that the invasion that NATO took place in Libya in 2011 was based on myths and statements that were never proven. This document is based on an investigation carried out by the Committee of Foreign Affairs of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom.

THE MOST FEARED THYPHOON
"When
The dreadfull power
built with their tools
a silly house of cards
and their filthy arguments
of their hate revived
enticing the fools
The most feared Typhoon
has not yet arrived
If the present exposed
their satanic intentions
like those cornered rats
Like a beast in a sack
They will not hesitate
For a second to
attack
With their senseless
smile
And their merciless guns
The most feared Typhoon
put his feet on your plate
And attempting to
wreck
Any person who thinks
and the eyes of children
and the weakened peace
by spreading the dead
until everything smells
like their putrid stink.
And their ambitious dreams
The most feared Typhoon
is the cold on your knees"

"THE BEACH OF THE END OF THE WORLD"
"THE BEACH OF THE END OF THE WORLD"
Suddenly I find myself in the
middle of the darkness of the night, the screech of brakes and the sound of the
back door opened put me on alert, the driver in a bad mode announced that this
was the last stop of the last bus of the day.
A lonely wooden beach house,
displayed by the only window, colours of different flashing lights. The room
was dark the lights from the window coming from a screen projection
At that time the song
"Get Ready" of Rare Earth begun to play loudly trough the speakers
and got us hysterically surrendered to the dance regardless of anything.
Perhaps the consolation of at least all being together as in those golden days, made us react that way and forget the magnitude of the tragedy
JAVIER MIRO
Warned by Elves about the existence
of a place of infinite beauty, I left, the path to my work without any sense of
guilt. It gave me a melancholic joy seeing that Bus approaching the Stop. The
same bus that took me to the beach thirty something years ago, that beach, my beach,
the one of eternal summers.
Once in the Bus I was assaulted by
the uncomfortable feeling of being the only passenger on. From the window, I could
see my briefcase and my suit carelessly abandoned at the mercy of the wind.
A long Lonesome road took me by
lagoons and swamps beyond the expected landscape and I felt the uncertainty of
being lost in a mysterious world. I was
convinced that could not return from this journey and that for some unknown
reason my life would not be the same.
Suddenly I find myself in the
middle of the darkness of the night, the screech of brakes and the sound of the
back door opened put me on alert, the driver in a bad mode announced that this
was the last stop of the last bus of the day.
When I left the bus, despite
walking by the most absolute darkness immediately I recognized the place, the
cold sand on my feet, the immense black dunes in front of me and the sound of
the sea were sufficient Guide to tell me the direction to follow.
When I reached the top of the dunes
all became clear, a few white lines were distinguished between the darkness of
the ocean, those waves of course were very familiar, it was my Old Town.
A lonely wooden beach house,
displayed by the only window, colours of different flashing lights. The room
was dark the lights from the window coming from a screen projection
As a
flashlight impulse, I find myself transported inside the house where they were projecting
a movie. Like an improvised amateur Cinema in which had a screen against the
wall and a lot of chairs occupied except for one in the third row. I sit down
and try to concentrate on the film showing Bruce Willis playing a young detective.
Sitting in the front I could
identify Gustav, a great friend lost in time for 20 years, before joy and
greetings others were turned, there were Claudia, Elizabeth, Ale and ‘El Gallo”.
Not being able to contain my joy I start jumping chairs and hug them then I
distinguish some more friends of those unforgettable summers.
Then someone taps my shoulder from
behind and tells me: "man can you sit down, and lets us watch the movie in
peace", that was Daniel was another lifelong friend.
Suddenly, the film
ends and a beard old man announces that a disaster of global magnitude has
occurred and this small sector of the planet is the only non-affected area and because
of the tragic events we were the only survivors
Far from the panic following the horrific news or the overwhelming
feeling of sadness, the tragedy triggered a strange inner energy. In a matter
of seconds we were absorbed by the intensity of the colour lights “disco style”.
Perhaps the consolation of at least all being together as in those golden days, made us react that way and forget the magnitude of the tragedy

MILENA TANGO
MILENA
After the storm that hit my heart
You left in my backyard the perfume of your skin
and the glare that shone in this fandango
crystal blue sea of your eyes
my sadness need more tango
and this tango brings more pain
my only dream, is to see you again.
Look at me dying from your dart
The sad and lonely street of thorns
let me go without directions
aimlessly rather than cry
your cold indifference
is melting at sunrise
Your silence hurts so much, tell me why?
my life of misery has no end
I miss your kisses and your look
I am like a homeless” linyera”
only this drink kills
the pain
I bleed profusely,
don’t turn away
my only dream, is to see you again.

MISSING YOU ( MUSIC : Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood - Ian Anderson - 1977)
MISSING YOU
"I miss you above all
I miss you with the dramatic
force
that the dry land
miss the rain.
With the extreme desire,
that only who love too
much,
could possible feel.
Far across the field
waiting for the bird
to give me the signs
of your so long
awaited arrival
In the same way that the
drifted wood, brought
to the beach
by the high tide, secretly hopes
to become a tree.
in the deep forest,
rocking the branches,
inspiring
the sensitive irreverent poet
who mysteriously hide in the grove
willing to rescue their secret harmonies
of your so long awaited arrival
willing to rescue their secret harmonies
of your so long awaited arrival"
JAVIER MIRO
willing to rescue their secret harmonies
of your so long awaited arrival
willing to rescue their secret harmonies
of your so long awaited arrival"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLY GARCIA
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLY GARCIA
Falling into dreams
I am awake in the middle of the Valley of the dead
I had a bad feeling of losing all my keys,
Rhyming in reverse with verbs in Portuguese
moaning and singing a music from Lou Read
Ghosts of truth, recorded the momento
Nothing to see,
No hope, or destination
Sailing the Dead Sea no need justification
Frenetic Cruise, mysterious situation
I thought I was happy jumping from the room
Watching my weak body aiming for the moon
I saw your nickname on my new tattoo
Followed by words that
couldn’t be true
Your signature behind the tears in blue
Below in red ink “I ‘m crazy for
you”
Seasonal love, superficial assistance
Slowly into the sea I dive to no
existence
