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.
