I wonder if it wasn't for the absolute balls up they made with their claims of "evidence" over Iraq if they would get a smoother ride this time with their claims?
Not that any of them are dealing with the crucial "then what?" aspect of any military intervention.

I think if it hadn't have been for Iraq and the fiasco that was the WMD 'evidence' there, we would probably be bombing by now. Certainly parliament wouldn't have been so twitchy about voting for action.
