Iraq inquiry

This very moment in The Houses of Commons ;those chambers of splendid debate and oligarchic virtue where we find ourselves in a:

' World of appearances where what appears to seem true is not equal to how the truth seems to appear '
(Pellas 2006)
There has been a a call for another inquiry into the trouble that won't go away from Tony Blair and his minions: The horror that is the Iraq war.

Obviously Mr Blair himself must be shivering up where his spinal chord should be as members from the Scottish and Welsh nationalist parties are calling for an inquiry.

The party faithful such as The foreign secretary Margarety Becket said there would "come a time" to learn lessons from Iraq, but this was not it. There was a danger of "sending the wrong signals at the wrong time" and appeared to set a deadline for operations, she said.

Blunket that other almost obsessionally allied and uncomfortably close colleague of Blair's mumbled something equally stupid:That inqiries going on would lessen the morale of our soldiers . Standard stuff.


It's amazing how the people with real blood on their hands seem to talk so passionately and defensively about our troops like they really care . It's so obvious that their support is one of condescension and manipulation , to keep the poor , dispensable foot soldiers feeling important and irreplaceable (which they are to their families but not to the likes of our leaders).

This very minute I hear the 'debate' or mumble on the net on a well known radio channel run by the government .I gathered the 'Ayes' were beaten by the 'nays' I am not sure I have fully understood what's going on . I will have to comment again later when I have it clearly reported on the news again . But if it is what I think I heard that the majority of MPs voting , again did not have the gumption to challenge and bring down these gangsters by not voting for the motion..... then I really do have to lose faith in the virtues of our beloved oligarchy .

May they sleep in peace .
