Apparently all hell is breaking loose in Westminster this afternoon. The SNP and Plaid have tabled a motion asking for an inquiry into the events surrounding the 2003 Iraq War and, given that a whole number of Labour MPs are narked about the affair, it may very well pass. Labour whips are literally tearing their combined hair out. Iain Dale, Guido and Nick R have various observations.
Now I’m on record as having supported us going into Iraq in the first place, but simply on the basis that Saddam was a nasty piece of work and needed to be got rid of. And if that makes me a neo-conservative then so be it. Roll on Zimbabwe and North Korea. But, despite that support a number of basic questions need to be asked:
Why were we told that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when it’s now painfully obvious that they didn’t?
How did we win the war and then completely c**k-up the peace?
Aber mit der Heimat
geht man immer herum,
durch die Welt,
dort und dort
Peter Handke
No one could describe
the Word of the Father;
but when He took flesh from you, O Theotokos,
He consented to be described, and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.

4th Week after Trinity
Almighty God,
you have broken the tyranny of sin
and have sent the Spirit of your Son into our hearts
whereby we call you Father:
give us grace to dedicate our freedom to your service,
that we and all creation may be brought
to the glorious liberty of the children of God;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

"There is none holy like the LORD; there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God." (1 Samuel 2:2, ESV)
