Subtle shift of language
|
Blair says Iraq is no excuse for terror. He acknowledged Iraq was being used to recruit terrorists, but insisted the roots of extremism were much deeper.
So, finally he acknowledges what everyone knows deep down: Iraq is why. But, Blairite parsing finds a positive, and he (increasingly bizarrely) implicitly toes the Bush line: we're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here.
Even though we are.
Mr Blair, you are still a tool. I use the word advisedly.
