Blair: Getting involved in the Iraq war was 'chips on the table' Archived Message Posted by Sinister Burt on November 17, 2020, 7:23 pm Casually admitting it was an acceptable price to pay for getting to be a 'player' (he shouldn't have worried - that apparent psychopathy right there is his qualification). From an interview with david dimbleby - pasted from guardian politics live but there was no source. "So, you know, [the impressions make themselves] the key thing in all of these things, though, this is the lesson of politics that I learned through my time, which is why I was describe my time in office as a journey. The lesson I learned is if you don’t commit and put chips on the table, you don’t get to play at that level. So if you as a country want to be a key player, maybe you don’t. Which case? Fine. But if you do, it’s like everything else in life. It doesn’t come free of charge. It comes with an acknowledgement that you have to make those commitments and you have to keep to them."
