Another day at the Chilcot Inquiry and another civil servant lines up to point the finger of blame for the Iraq fiasco firmly at Tony Blair.

As the Guardian reports, Sir John Scarlett used his moment under the spotlight to insist that the controversial foreword to the ‘dodgy dossier’, written and signed by Blair, was “overtly political” and had nothing to do with the intelligence contained in the dossier itself.

At the same time it was leaked that the information on the controversial and untrue 45 minute allegation that formed so much of Blair’s argument for war was actually information based on the ramblings of a taxi driver.

Al Jazeera are reporting that Blair’s time may be up and he looks like he is showing the strain. After another day of carnage in Baghdad reflects the abject failure of Blair’s illegal war let’s hope he feels it a little more.
