The military precision with which words crackled from the deposition of US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and General Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the inquiry conducted by a Republican chairman of the Senate Committee can only leave the world to infer that the whole inquiry was nothing but a great whitewash. Their regret and sorrow did not show on their poker faces.

The whole exercise was meant to save the topmost culprits in the chain of command, who were not only responsible for the illegal invasion of a UN member country, but who had also worked up unwarranted hate propaganda against Iraq. This hate and derision became the hallmark of the invasion of Iraq.

The people of Iraq bore no grudge against the US, even though the US had been the prime culprit in imposing UN sanctions against the Iraqi people for over a decade, when hundreds of thousands of Iraqi babies died of malnutrition and disease.
