Tony Blair interview

The BBC have an interview with Tony Blair, where one the the excerpts is the fact that even if Saddam did not have WMD he would have been in favour of making arguments for regime change.

But this all points to the fact that he needed the WMD argument to get past Parliament and it is likely he did not really believe he did have them. So to mislead Parliament to "get them out they way" is scandalous, but not a surprise for Blair who did not take the place that seriously.

This is perhaps all to soften the landing in terms of the inquiry that is going on, where he is due to give evidence soon.
