How can you consider it spin when it portrays the ex-President as trying to undermine the current President?
As someone here already said, I don't doubt that Clinton was offering the advice. Its clear that, in the end, Blair did not take it.
I don't think Clinton comes out looking good in this.
I agree.
Bus some here were ready to jump on Blair and believe all the propaganda Clinton was spreading.
The spin part is how much Blair valued Clinton's advice, when obviously he ignored it.
Clinton's agenda was exactly to make Bush look bad, by peeling off his major true ally, Blair.
