Vapid

A selection of Tony Blair quotes from his This Week appearance:

Well, I think, to be absolutely blunt about it, we have to make sure this works.

...

We are in a situation where we need to act urgently, in my view.


...

I think we've got to plan to succeed.

...

What we've got to do is get the right strategy to achieve it. You know what I mean?

...


You know, identifying what needs to happen is -- I don't say it's easy, but I think it is relatively straightforward. Getting it done requires immense focus and attention.

...

Well, you see, you've got to ask, why is it that we have the problem now? And we have the problem now because people are giving us this problem.

...

I think what is important is that we make sure that nothing is left undone that could be done to achieve that success. Because if we do succeed, I think, in the end, the whole of the region will change and for the better. And if we fail, the consequences are very serious.
