Blair on manoeuvers

We can probably divide the world into three camps:
1. Those of us who know exactly why and how Blair led us into the invasion of Iraq.
2. Those who have a vested interest in defending their involvement in same.
3. Those who don't give a toss.
Groups 1 and 3 will probably greet Blair's latest venture onto the airwaves with a huge yawn. We have heard it all before and we know what he is up to. There is no denying that Blair is a skilled political communicator and he is clearly limbering up for the Chilcot enquiry. And judging from the reaction of the media (most of whom fall into Camp 2) he will succeed. The outcome of the Chilcot Enquiry is predestined and the exercise is a prelude to the application of the stockpiled whitewash.
The problem is how to orchestrate the right words to present to the public. Enter Anthony Blair.
