Blair's Chief of Staff Faces Iraq Inquiry

<snip>Blair's trust ratings have plunged as no banned weapons have been found in Iraq, four months after Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was toppled. A poll last week showed 68 percent of the public think the government was dishonest about the war and 41 percent blamed it for Kelly's death.

Blair, currently on holiday in Barbados, will return to testify to Lord Hutton's inquiry. Defense Minister Geoff Hoon will also give evidence.

1. Blair will probably eventually pay for this.
The British government is investigating this very thoroughly as far as I can see, by actuallly conducting hearings and gathering testimony. What is our problem?

5. Our problem is we have several Republicans in congress who...
hold their loyalty to a corrupt party line, above their sworn duty to their country! Then these same unpatriotic drones have the gall, to say that every taxpayer that don't support Bush in this country, are the unpatriotic ones!(EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US) We have NO operational system of checks and balances in America and the people in the UK still do! There are even a few represenatives in the Democratic party who STILL support Bush for their own greedy reasons!
