Debate sought on Blair's Iraq "misconduct"
LONDON (Reuters) - Parliamentarians will table a motion today demanding a debate on Prime Minister Tony Blair's "gross misconduct" in leading the country to war against Iraq.

The impeachment motion, the first one to be tabled since the mid-19th century, has been signed by 23 MPs from various opposition parties.

But even if a debate is granted, any attempt to accuse Blair of "high crimes and misdemeanours" is doomed to fail in the House of Commons, where the Labour party has a majority of more than 150 seats.

3. I believe that recent news of attacks on Britain
were intended to prevent this from happening.
