Can't believe this isn't getting more posts. There was that one thread where everyone was calling to Corbyn to resign.... is this the alternative people want and think will win elections? It is hypocritical to bash Republicans for Iraq and not "New" Labor for the same... what they did here was criminal and evil.

Well, it did win elections. In fact, it's the only "flavour" of Labour that's won elections in the last 40 years. It also won an election 2 years after the initiation of the Iraq war. Fundamentally people cared (and still care) a lot more about domestic policy than foreign.

This isn't some conspiracy to protect Labour, as I said:

Are there going to be any lasting repercussions? Once the people in the report give their responses, the families of the soldiers give theirs, and tomorrow's op-eds are written, what's next? Will this even be in the news cycle come Friday? Hard to see why they delayed it past the GE and EU referendum.

What else is there for people to post about? The report was a retread of everything we already knew with such stern language as "far from satisfactory". The Corbyn thread was an ongoing event with new developments.
