As one Labour MP pointed out, Blair has been calling for patience on the issue of WMD but patience was shown when it came to giving the UN Inspectors more time.

Labour have always been critised for spin but these allegations could put Blair in a very difficult position.

Things are well past the "5 seconds" point now and people in the UK do have a right to question the decision to commit troops to the invasion of Iraq.

It wasn't an invasion; it was a liberation.
WMDs were only part of the reason to stop the madness of Saddam Hussein.

From what I've heard on this, his own party will head a closed door investigation. Take a miracle for anything actually damaging to come out of it.

The sole point of "giving the inspectors more time" was really to give Saddam more time to HIDE THE EVIDENCE.

UN inspectors had 12 years. Coalition inspectors have had 2 months. There's a large difference there. The allegations would be deadly if they were based in logic and fact, which they really aren't. Plus there's the fact that UK polls showed support for Blair and the war in the mid-50s: the Labor members opening their mouths are looking pretty foolish.

As for the troops, yes, the people have a right to question the use of their military, but there's no point doing it if there isn't a basis for it. There really isn't one right now. Maybe in 2015, sure. But not right now.
