Blair faces fresh impeachment threat over Iraq

The Scottish National party and Plaid Cymru today pledged they would make a fresh bid to impeach Tony Blair over the Iraq war after the election. Alex Salmond and Plaid's Westminster leader, Elfyn Llwyd, campaigning together in Scotland, criticised the Liberal Democrat leader, Charles Kennedy, and his party for failing to back the impeachment bid, despite opposing the war, as Iraq creeps back up the election agenda.

Mr Llwyd said the prime minister had "got away with murder" over the war, although he later said he did not mean that literally. The two leaders promised they would pass a fresh motion in the new parliament demanding impeachment on the grounds of "deliberately distorting" intelligence in the lead up to the invasion.


Today, Mr Salmond accused the prime minister of taking Britain to war on the basis of a lie, and Mr Llwyd said: ""The reason is you either allow the prime minister to literally get away with murder or you do something about it.

"We decided that, for the sake of democracy, we will use the procedure available." Mr Llwyd said later: "I'm not saying literally murder - but we do know tens of thousands have and are being killed, and all of that would probably not have happened had it not been for this awful intervention by Bush and Blair," he said.

...Impeachment Process. Can You Imagine What the Repukes Would have Done To Clinton If He Had Acted As * Did, Then And Now.

these people (SNP, Plaid Cymru) would rather not be in the UK!

Sure, they complain, but they won't do anything about it. They were outraged over a BLOW JOB, but not about thousands dying for a lie.
