Tony Blair faces the music
So today Tony Blair must face the Chilcot inquiry about his involvement in taking Britain to war with Iraq. It seems that Tony Blair has faced most of the questions he’s going to be asked before so I’m not sure that it’s going to as explosive as the media seem to be building it up to.
There was talk that his statement the other day on TV that he’d still have gone to war even if he’d know that there were no (I’m not sure I can bring myself to use the abbreviation…) Weapons of Mass Destruction was a bit of a mistake and that he’s not as sharp as he used to be. I’m sure that he’ll just reiterate what he’s said before - I can’t see that there is going to be any real fallout from this as it all happened over five years ago.
It seems that the more important day will be when Gordon Brown steps up and has to answer questions about his involvement - it’s going to be important for no other reason (to most people) than the fact that there is an election around the corner. With the Tories already out in front it could be bad for Labour.
