Although I might agree with General Sir Michael Rose, I'm not really sure what his qualifications to demand an impeachment are, and nothing he has said is really new.

As long as there is apathy from the voting (or, more to the point, non-voting) public then nothing will happen. We all knew the facts when we went into the last general election - yet we still voted Blair back in. That tells me that either the public supported action in Iraq, they can't be bothered to find out the facts about action in Iraq or they are not bothered full stop.

So whilst ex-SAS commanders might pontificate about their own political views - nothing will happen unless the public sit up and take notice.
