LONDON, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Britain on Wednesday published the long-awaited inquiry into the Iraq War, concluding that Britain went to war before all peaceful options had been exhausted, according to the chairman of the UK's inquiry, John Chilcot.
In a statement, Chilcot said military action was not a last resort in the Iraq war. "At the time of the parliamentary vote of 18 March, diplomatic options had not been exhausted. The point had not been reached where military action was the last resort," it said.
The inquiry has also found then British Prime Minister Tony Blair told then U.S. President George Bush that he would be with him "whatever" in regards to Iraq, several months before they launched the Iraq invasion.
