Nota Bene – Iraq Not a Disaster

It’s a “challenge”, I suppose, or perhaps an “opportunity”, but it’s apparently not a “disaster”, at least not according to Tony Blair. And just in case you weren’t listening, he can’t have meant that it is a disaster, because he “does not use the word disaster”. Oh, and they didn’t say this. And he didn’t say that. Everything’s fine, except to the extent that it isn’t. And of course, to the extent that it isn’t, it’s someone else’s fault.
