Stirring is OK. It just depends what happens in the end.

One of the things that I've been doing over the past few years is reevaluating my own powers of political analysis.

They could have been removed. They could have been hidden. They could have been destroyed.

If people in the end think that you can't do something in a way which is acceptable then it won't fly. The only way you get anything like this done is if people think, 'I understand why it is being done.'

I have absolutely no doubt at all that we will find evidence of weapons of mass destruction programmes.

What is true about (ex-Iraq Survey Group head) David Kay's evidence, and this is something I have to accept, and is one of the reasons why I think we now need a new inquiry - it is true David Kay is saying we have not found large stockpiles of actual weapons.

Education is the best economic policy there is.
