John Chilcot, the chairman of the commission of inquiry into British involvement in the war in Iraq said Wednesday that the expected ratio for years will not be published until next year, incurring the wrath of some members. The findings will not be known before the parliamentary elections next May.
The families of the 179 British soldiers killed are impatient.
"To be honest, I am bitterly disappointed. It's a shame, because there are many families of victims who have waited this report. We need to turn the page, "said the father of a slain soldier.
"From all I've talked to mothers, we all believe that the goal is to cover it up. They have all the documents they have everything under the eyes and it takes so long. People wonder what they are trying to hide. What is hidden to the public and families? "Asks the mother.
The inquiry examined the validity and legality of the decision of Tony Blair to engage the army alongside the Americans during the invasion of Iraq on 20 March 2003.
120 000 British soldiers have served in Iraq during the conflict. Combat troops withdrew in July 2009, and bearing forces in May 2011, after eight years of presence.
