Personally I feel

Milliband is doing it for political reasons , it gives him the perfect chance to say ( come the next election ) we learnt from Iraq and refused to go down the BLair route, thus in one stroke they look like the good guys that are listening to the electorate and finally casting off some of the stigma of Iraq that has been hanging around their necks like excessive baggage. It also upsurps Cameron and makes him look like Son of BLiar, thus shifting the emphasis onto him, especially if it all goes pear shaped like it probably will.
Cameron and Hague are also coming over as looking indecisive with the frequent changes of tact as the proverbial carpet keeps getting pulled out from under them.
