Tony Blair is to appear before the Chilcot Iraq inquiry this week. His other cabinet members have already appeared. A Jack Straw who had all his angles well covered, a Geoff Hoon who might as well not have been defence secretary given his complete lack of decision involvement. Gordon Brown yet to appear but will do before the election.
But now Blair, I hope he gets the grilling he needs to remind him what an unpopular choice he made and also shamed enough in the underhand way he convinced parliament to go to war.
I accept he was in a difficult position, but I think he lacked backbone and just went along with the US. A tough decision and we'll never know the state of Iraq had we let things be.
