I'm sure gassing and killing Kurds and Iranians was legal and so was the UN abuse of the Iraq oil for food programs.

I'd say it's more about the politics off truth and legality - if the Blair government could be shown to have maniupulated truth and legality to fit a political adgenda then they'll fall; either by the public or the Queen (it has happened before). But on the other hand if Blair can successfully defend himself in the face of these attacks/accusations it'll most likely end up strengthening his position politically.
The gassing and killing of Kurds isn't a UK issue, after-all they didn't supply the chemical weapons (that'd been the US)... however there has been some mention of the Oil for Food scandal - as some contributers to the Labour Party have been implicated.
