The conservative party as once again called for an investigation into the Iraq war. I can’t understand what this will achieve, apart from wasting millions of pounds of tax payers money that is.

Everyone knows that the war was illegal. Blair lied to the public and to Westminster that is without doubt. The report on weapons of mass destruction was ‘Sexed Up’ and there has been a report over the intelligence failings and a report into the death of weapons expert Dr David Kelly.

We do need to know what went wrong after the war, but does this need a full blown public enquiry, I doubt it.

What we do need however, is for the people who are responsible for getting us involved in the illegal war to be brought to account, Blair, Brown and other members of the cabinet at the time should be charged with mass murder!
