13. Shame though it is to agree with the Mail, they're right that Blix should give evidence
to the Chilcot Inquiry. His knowledge of what evidence was presented to Blair before the invasion, and how Blair reacted, are at the heart of what the inquiry is meant to be investigating.

We should note, of course, that the Mail's main attitude in the days leading up to the invasion was to blame France. No, really; their editorials and op-eds frequently attacked Chirac for saying he wouldn't vote for an immediate invasion in a second resolution. Chirac was, of course, saying Blix should have been given more time. So the Mail is conveniently forgetting that it attacked the world politician who supported Blix at the time.
