said Friday in his first response at an inquiry into country's role in
the March 2003 conflict.
Brown was answering a question from the
chairman of the inquiry, John Chilcot, about whether he thought taking
military action in March 2003 was the right decision, especially given
that it led to such a great loss of life among military personnel and
civilians.
