Talk to Blair and talk to the Taleban

Tony Blair will be called to give evidence to the Iraq War inquiry next year.
Sir John Chilcot says: 'We will ask them to explain the main decisions and tasks, and their involvement.'
This seems pretty clear but they have to get to the bottom of this for the sake of the lives lost and to move forward toward resolution.
The dodgy dossier lies at the heart of this and Blair's interpretation of the erroneous findings.
An unrepentant man, two years ago he said: 'The enemy that we are fighting I am afraid has learnt . . . that our stomach for this fight is limited and I believe they think they can wait us out. Our determination has got to match theirs and our will has got to be stronger than theirs and at the moment I think it is probably not.'
Armed with this knowledge why didn't the strategy change?
The nation's support for these 'wars against terror' was wavering then, it's at rock bottom now and we must try another tack - dialogue.
