With only ten days to go, the great mystery of the Blair era remains the PM's failure to push Bush harder - or at all - on post-war reconstruction in Iraq. I gather Hillary Clinton regards this is a completely inexplicable failure on the part of her old ally (while understanding his need to stay at Bush's side). The Observer has a good account of what Blair did and didn't know.

June 18th, 2007 2:56pmBlair is all about performance, much less about content. Therefore content can shift to suit the moment; performance has to concentrate on looking sincere and faking consistency - hence a vague cover-all term like 'the third way'. Hence a fickle audience is okay with 'I did what I believed to be right.'Oh that's okay then .... but didn't Hitler think this too. I am weary with charisma.
