Part 2:

The conservative party leader at the time, Ian Duncan Smith, was quite vocal about Blair lying.

And who wound up resigning in the end?

The US was quite clear that we were not welcomed when UNMOVIC did exist and the US was not interested in extending the life of UNMOVIC.

Who's the "we" your are referring to?

And no.. the US was not interested in creating another open-ended "inspection" program that found itself constanting embarking on "sneak and peak" surprise "inspections" which were really investigations.

It was clear that, from it's inception, the UNSCOM inspection process was suppose to merely affirm, account for, and oversee the destruction of, Iraq's WMDs and long range missiles.

The minute the UN permitted the inspection process to become a game of Iraqi "hide and seek", the UNSC resolutions had been violated and the Iraqi "tail" was now wagging the UN "dog".. The entire process had lost credibility.
