Majority 'want Iraq war inquiry' - UK
Source: BBC News

Almost three quarters of British people believe there should be a public inquiry into the invasion of Iraq, an opinion poll suggests.

The BBC Radio 5 Live poll also found almost two thirds are not convinced UK soldiers should be kept in Afghanistan.

The survey, conducted by ComRes for the BBC, found 72% of those questioned believe there should be an official inquiry into the UK's role in the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

This figure increases to 81% in the 18-24 age group.

1. I think there will be, eventually

But Labour will delay the process as long as possible so it doesn't happen before the election. The Tories will almost certainly have one when they get in.

But this doesn't solve the ultimate problem - The reason Blair went through so many verbal contortions is because when America says jump, we say how high. This issue came to a head when the morons entered the White House, and Blair found himself defending utterly illogical policy decisions.

Ye gods, that it should come to this - Waiting for the Conservatives to get into power..

2. The majority of Brits always opposed the bush-bliar illegal invasion of Iraq.
No surprise that they want a public inquiry.

I want war crimes tribunals, myself.
