It was rather unpleasant seeing William Hague on GMTV and BBC Breakfast today. His appearance is enough to curdle porridge. He was bleating on about there needing to be an inquiry into the Iraq War.
But his argument doesn't stack up. He still says it was right to invade Iraq! Unbelievable!
How on earth can we move forward while there exists such pig-headed reluctance to acknowledge the mistake of the invasion ?
Well done Ed Davey for taking the issue head on:
For the Tories to demand an inquiry into the Iraq war is like Ronnie Biggs wanting an inquiry into the Great Train Robbery.
There is an excellent new website on this issue here.

Tory pig-headedness on Iraq invasion

Complete non sequitur. We should, if anything, be applauding the Tories for willing to learn from their mistakes.
It was early on a Monday morning, so I do non sequiturs at that sort of time, with the best of them....but...if the Tories don't acknowledge the mistake of the invasion, how will they learn from it? Hague is only acknowledging mistakes in the aftermath of the invasion, but does not acknowledge that the invasion itself was wrong - he still says that was the right decision.
How are the Tories attempting to re-write history? The House was misled...it would seem.
It is clear now the that decision to go to war was unfounded. Did, however, the Lib Dems refuse to believe that there was WMD and that Iraq posed a direct threat to peace...at the time of the decision being made?

"How are the Tories attempting to re-write history? "
I don't know. I didn't say they are
"Did, however, the Lib Dems refuse to believe that there was WMD and that Iraq posed a direct threat to peace...at the time of the decision being made?"
OF course, hundreds of us were on the march and Charles Kennedy spoke at the rally at the end of it.
