Tony Blair takes the biscuit, he really does. We now know that most of his warblings on Friday were a fine art of deception. He's deceived his own brain, it seems.
Now it is the turn of Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, the head of the armed forces to sit in on the Iraq Inquiry. He said defence chiefs "simply didn't have enough time" to source everything they wanted for the invasion of Iraq. Ministers were warned of a "serious risk". He told the inquirers, "The problem of course was that we simply didn't have enough time, as it turned out, to do everything we needed to do before the operation started."
Soldiers died unnecessarily as a result. So what about the cloth-eared Blair? What did he think when told all this? And I assume Straw, Hoon and the rest of the New Labour cabal heard these words. What a shower! A conniving bunch of self-delusional fools. They just didn't want to hear what they didn't want to hear.
I hope Blair is recalled before this inquiry. Because if not, his weasel words will just be shunted into the documents and we will be told nothing more than that.

Sir Jock stirs it up over Afghan mission
Only this last week, the hapless Gordon Brown was telling us all about that nasty Alky Ada he keeps on about. Well, today Sir Jock Stirrup rode into town to appear on the Andrew Marr Show.
He said, amongst other things, this -
"It is true that al-Queda are not operating in Afghanistan at the moment. It is also true that over the last couple of years in particular the al-Queda core has suffered significant damage".
Not in Afghanistan? Where are they, then? Oh, don't tell me, it's Pakistan. But we aren't going after them there are we? Not a chance! We don't want uprisings in Britain do we?
What a shower! Brown waffles on about his wretched Afghan campaign. He has about as much clue as those hopeless First World War generals. As with most British people, I have a relative laid to rest in that battlefield. Have we learnt anything?
