Well, Blair must be grinning ear-to-ear over this.

4. Anyone who listened to the testimony would have come to the same

conclusion.

But for Bush and the Iraq war, DU'ers would have looked at any other situation with the same set of facts as an attempt by the media to undemocratically take down a government.

5. Except that

you can't take Bush and the Iraq war out of the equation. Bush and Blair are as connected as a couple of convicts on a chain gang.
