Prime Minister Gordon Brown faces the Iraq Inquiry today, amid allegations that British soldiers died as a result of cuts in defence spending Brown ordered.

Evidence thus far seems to point to former Prime Minister Tony Blair driving the decision to join America in the Iraq Invasion; today’s questioning for Brown is likely to focus on how involved Brown was in the decision to go to war, as well as his funding commitments to the forces serving in Iraq.

General Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank, who led the Armed Forces from 1997 to 2001, told The Times, “Not fully funding the Army in the way they had asked . . . undoubtedly cost the lives of soldiers. He should be asked why he was so unsympathetic towards defence and so sympathetic to other departments.”

Thus far at the inquiry, Brown has defended the decision to go to war, saying it was right given what was known at the time and given the country’s commitment to dealing with Saddam Hussein’s breaching of UN agreements.

The Times today devoted one of its leading editorials to the 10 questions it believes Brown must answer on the Iraq War, including: What intelligence were he and other members of the Cabinet shown regarding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; whether he believed that Iraq had violated UN Resolution 1441, an order to Iraq to disarm; and does he believe that Britain “left Iraq in the right circumstances.”

The Guardian is live-blogging and streaming the Inquiry, as The Telegraph is streaming the questioning, alongside a voting function, allowing viewers to say whether or not they believe what’s being said.
