No Repub cowards here..the Brits want the truth...

From American Progress:

IRAQ -- BRITISH PLAN FOR FULL-SCALE INQUIRY OF IRAQ WAR:

British Prime Minister Tony Blair "now seems to be facing the full-scale parliamentary inquiry into the Iraq war -- it's justification, conduct and aftermath -- that Bush has been able to avoid."

Leading figures in the Conservative, Liberal-Democratic, Scottish National and Plaid Cymru parties have joined hands to back a motion entitled "Conduct of Government policy in relation to the war against Iraq." Such an investigation will help determine whether Blair was "double-crossed" by Bush aides, as former Ambassador Joseph Wilson has suggested, or whether he "planned the Iraq war from the start."

Here in the United States, despite the fact that U.S. taxpayers have funded the 9-11 Commission, the Silberman-Robb Commission, the Senate Intelligence Committee, the Duelfer Report, and a host of executive branch reviews to look into some aspect of the Iraq conflict, not a single one has comprehensively examined the justification, conduct, and aftermath of the Iraq war as the British parliamentary inquiry plans to do.
