Tony Blair attacks Iraq Inquiry as part of Britain's 'obsession with conspiracy theories'

Tony Blair yesterday launched an extraordinary attack on the Iraq inquiry - as the chairman warned that he and others could be recalled over 'gaps' in their evidence. In an outspoken interview in the U.S., the former prime minister dismissed the inquiry as part of a ' continual desire to sort of uncover some great conspiracy'.

Speaking on Fox News he said critics of the war were obsessed with conspiracy theories, and refused to accept that his motives were 'genuine'.

Half-Man, Half-Biscuit are one of the funniest bands I have heard, they always raise a smile and gets my toes tapping.

Here are the two tracks I was enjoying when I came across this article.

Chilcot - A very British Inquiry

I spent yesterday watching Tony Blair being savaged by a flock of dead sheep whilst following the comments on Twitter's #IraqInquiry.
Hardly any of the commentators were impressed by either Tony or the panel.

Depressed, well let me tell you what my day was like yesterday

Well, I haven't been blogging with the frequency that I once did, been feeling a little under-the-weather, bit depressed I guess.
I have been following the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war, which is enough to make one depressed in itself, and kinda cross referencing with Craig Murry to gauge reaction and comment with a once FCO Ambassador and his astute group of followers of his website.
Craig also suffers from depression, not surprising really, considering what this government did to him.

But, the reason for this post is not to draw attention to my own, or indeed Craig's current mental state but to the notion that depression is, in someways related to how much control we have over events as demonstrated in this comment on Craig's site.

Depressed, well let me tell you what my day was like yesterday.
We were travelling through a small village about 60km north of Kalemie, we were waved down by a group of people very excited and anxious, we stopped. To cut a long story short, there was a 4 year old kid, very sick with malaria in the village, so we were asked to take a look and see what we could do. We tried for an hour to get an IV line in, but the kid was too far gone. I watched him die, nothing we could do. Local hospital was 7 hour drive away over terrible roads, and even if we could have got him there,they probably would not have the drugs to treat him.
Then it get's interesting. We had originally gone up there to destroy 7 land mines next to a small village called Nyunzu. Half way through the clearance proceedure, one of my guys realised 3 of the mines were booby trapped. I pulled my guys out and did the job myself. 2 hours pouring sweat under a tropical sun not knowing if next minuite would be the last...eventually I got the fuses out and we blew them with det cord and explosives. I spent most of that night throwing up. Morale of the story Craig, don't get depressed just because some prick lies through his back teeth to save his arse, there are bigger problems out there Bro. Miss ya...

Reading that has not only inspired me to write this blog post, but to try and get some perspective on my own lack of control.
