British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has defended the decision to London to go to war in Iraq in 2003, to appear before the independent commission investigating the UK's role in that conflict.

In his speech, Brown-who was then finance minister in Tony Blair's Labor government, "said the latter always provided all relevant information and to go to war" was the right decision for the right reasons. "

He said "nobody wants war, nobody wants to see innocent people die, nobody wants that soldiers risk their lives."

Brown added to the Committee call Chilcott: "Nobody makes a decision and if not the most serious of circumstances and with complete confidence that this is the right decision."

He further explained that "we support the invasion in the last minute when we realized that there was no diplomatic option. He had reached a point where we felt that the sanctions of the international community would not work."

In his words, "I have never been denied information, but my role was not to intervene" but to ensure that the government "to arrange for all necessary resources" to finance the participation in the war.

Brown has been censored for not having sufficient funding for the armed forces, according to his critics.

For this reason, many soldiers have gone into battle with inadequate equipment.

But the prime minister insisted that "we did a good job on the costs" of war.

"The Ministry (of Finance) would not interfere in any military decisions that had just been done and we would not put any economic barrier," he said.
