Blair admits Anglo-American intervention in Iraq has been "pretty much of a disaster"
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: There were times when Sir David Frost's interview with Tony Blair on al-Jazeera threatened to turn into a quick 40 winks, so languid was the great interrogator's delivery.

But seasoned Frost-watchers know that this is the moment when the man or woman in the hot seat should be most on his or her guard. The Prime Minister wasn't, and blurted out two monosyllabic words he will have plenty of opportunity to regret. Blair is badly nipped by a vintage touch of Frost by Neil Tweedie

This is truly amazing. At last, TB has said something truthful. I trust that this historic 'first' will be recorded in the history books.

Yes, but I think he has already backtracked as much as he can. Don't forget, David Frost, the interviewer, is said to have been clever and is said to have 'tricked' him into admitting it. At least according to the article.
