Tories Demand Independent Inquiry into Iraq War

[Barrett808]

Tories today called for an independent judicial inquiry into the war against Iraq to clear up “confusion” over the Government’s credibility.

Tory deputy leader Michael Ancram said the current stream of allegations was damaging to ministers and the national interest.

“It is damaging to the national interest when there is a major and continuing question mark hanging over the credibility of the Prime Minister, the Defence Secretary (Geoff Hoon) and of the Government as a whole.

1. The Tories were just as gung-ho on this war too!!!!

The looser KKKonservatives are playing politics!

2. That's almost funny...

The party in Britain that usually CLAMORS for war, and whose leaders can't get enough of war (Falklands; Desert Storm), is now going after Tony Blair and his Cabinet. Iraq is not a situation the Tories would have avoided; it's one they would have PLUNGED HEADLONG INTO even quicker--and with even less reservations--than did Blair and Labourites allied with him. Whaaaaaat hypocrisy on their part! :eyes:

Unlike Dub vis-a-vis Clinton, all Tony Blair has to say in this case is "Remember the days of Dame Thatcher and John Major", and people will flock back to the Labour fold!

Any investigation into this war of aggression by the US and the UK is very welcome.
