Huh?

A strange statement from this article:

"Blair, Bush's closest ally in the war and the subsequent occupation of Iraq, has indicated he would quit if it was proven that he lied over Kelly. "

Since surely Blair knows whether he lied or not, presumably the author of the article means that if it is concluded by the Hutton inquiry that Blair dissembled, then he will resign - not because such necessarily "proves" that he did, but rather owing to the consequent loss of public trust.

Or is Blair unsure whether he lied, and looks forward to finding out whether he actually did?!

Or are we really to believe that if -- and only if -- the investigation finds him out, then Blair will grudgingly be on his way?

Or is this a heretofore unobserved sinister side of Blair, in which he says, in effect, "when donkey's fly"?!!
