The standard of questioning at the Iraq War Inquiry has been abysmal. Already, many of the people who have come before it have got off very lightly because the people asking the questions have not asked the right questions, and have not asked the right follow up questions to answers given.
Blair is a good salesman, and I imagine he will bamboozle the Inquiry. He will be truthful, but he will arrive with his own points to get across, and he will get them across. He will not need to lie.
Is it coincidence that the Terror Alert has been raised to “severe” the week before Tony Blair's evidence. We need reminding that the Iraq war was part of the War on Terror, and a cranking up of the fear factor will make Blair's reasons for the war more acceptable if we are all told an attack is 'highly likely". We shall see if the alert is lessened after Blair's appearance.

I'm not sure that Blair and Brown know the truth. Russia and France had a vested interest in not having a war as they had stakes in the oil industry there. Blair with all his posturing was unable to convince either to commit to a second resolution 1441 which would give the green light for war if Saddam was in breach of any perceived threat. Therefore Saddam was persuaded to let the inspectors do their work.
Even Saddams co-operation with the inspectors the US could hold its forces back no longer and Blair rather than choosing the peaceful route hitched his horses to the US military. Hans Blix knows the truth but his version was never accepted either by Britain or much later by the Chilcot enquiry.

The accused have so far got off very lightly. They can say all they want without and contradiction. Therefore if we want a balanced enquiry they should be admitted.
Top of the list should be Hans Blix who knew the situation in Iraq just before the war.
Posthumus evidence of Kelly the weapons inspector
Geo Bush aides who must have been aware what was going on with Bush and Blair
Cherie Blair whom he must have confided and she being a lawyer would hardly tell lies
and the Spanish prime minister who made a threesome with Blair and Bush immediately before the war on that remote island where the decision was finally made.
