Jack Straw against the war.
You sure you're not thinking of Robin Cook mate. Who was the foreign secretary before combat operations started, and resigned in opposition to the war. AFAIR, Jack Straw has always stood shoulder to shoulder with Tony the Liar on the reasons for the war.
Whats the point of enquiries into the war. Well, the first enquiry into the doctors death (cant mind his name), cleared the government of any complicity in his scuicide. Adding that they could find no evidence that the Intelligence had been sexed up. Not Lord Butlers report reveales that important, and relevant caveats (sp) which where part of the JIC reports dissipeared in th e copy that Tony Blair reported as *the Facts* to parliment. The statement that the Iraqi's could deploy chemical and biological weapons in 20 - 45 minutes, was qualified in the original JIC report to ''Battlefield Weapons'', namely artillery and rockets. Not to weapons delivery systems such as Scud's.
So two reports, at two different times, report two different things. Both clear Tony Blair and the number 10 spin machine of any wrong doing.
There's and old saying mate.....
If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and looks like a duck..... Then its a duck.
In this case, if two inquiries look like a whitewash.................
