The sexed up document about WMDs on which the decision to go to war pivotted, was supplied by the intelligence chiefs, so they were always going to be in the firing line of criticism from Chilcot, as its contents were,as we now know, lies.
The pretext for going to war was that Saddam could fire a missile within 4 minutes that was capable of striking the UK. This misimformation had MI6 stamped all over it, and was why the vote to attack Iraq, got all party support in the Commons.

The worry is, what happens when Chilcott does eventually report -
"I've spent six years of chicanery and flim-flam, and eight figures of tax-payers money, and I conclude that you Mr Blair, and you Mr Straw and sundry others are guilty of dragging us into an illegal war and ... er ... that's it. I'm off to a cushy retirement."
Since serving politicians have their sense of honour, humility, and conscience removed on election, it's unlikely that a couple of retired ones will be very bothered.
A light grilling from Evan Davies, a few hostile headlines, and ... well, business as usual.
Was it worth the war, the losses, the costs, the enquiry, and all for this?
I rather think not.

Andy, public opinion is based on the thinking that it would be all dandy if we had not gone in. It may well have been, or it may not.
The majority of the public are either thick or too lazy to work anything else out for themselves so public opinion does not show whether is was worth it or not. Like I say we have no clue as to the outcome of inaction.
