We demand a real investigation – not a Hutton Mark 2

Extract From a Socialist Party Leaflet

We want an inquiry that actually looks at the real
reasons why more than 10,000 Iraqi civilians have been slaughtered; why more
than £5 billion of our money has been spent on a bloody war and occupation
rather than the services we need.

We want a real inquiry, carried out by elected
representatives of ordinary people, including trade union and community
groups. 

We have had enough of Blair’s lies and deception. He
lied about WMD, he lied about introducing top-up fees and he lied about
public services.

A war for oil and power

Blair and Bush and their cronies unleashed a war not for
‘liberation’ in Iraq, but for the imperialist plunder of Iraqi
resources, particularly oil. 

They have created devastation and terrible suffering.
They should be driven from office.

For a new mass party

But the alternative is not Blair’s capitalist critics,
whose concern is not for the British or Iraqi people but defending their own
system and preventing more Bush-style adventures in the future that could
endanger capitalism’s stability. 

The real alternative is a new mass party of the
working class, pledged to oppose militarism by establishing a new democratic
socialist society.
