TONY Blair's much-hyped autobiography is more like "a love letter" to ex-US President George W. Bush, say insiders who have seen drafts of the book....
The News of the World can reveal Blair says he thinks Bush was the only politician in the world with the courage and commitment to take on al-Qaeda after the 9/11 terror attacks.

The TRUTH at last !
AND islam and the leftists brought them both down...
Good on Tony. The current president we have is an epic fail.
A book that tells the truth about a great man and a great President. Finally!
“Blair says he thinks Bush was the only politician in the world with the courage and commitment to take on al-Qaeda after the 9/11 terror attacks.”
What’s the point the writer is making? How can anyone dispute this?
The Left isn’t going to like that.
At least we did not have high unemployment on our way to National Socialism.
What's that word that's so delicious when applied to the hate-mongering Left...apoplectic?...yeah, that's the word.
It’s easy enough to have a less-than-favorable view of GW. I know I had little appreciation for his domestic policies or his willingness to fold to the demonRATs.
That being said, GW is a decent man- perhaps far too decent for DC- and he kept us safe for the years after 9-11. The tin pots dicked with him far LESS than they are doing with the current bozo-in-chief.
I believe history will be far kinder to him than to the three losers the left currently worships- Clinton, Carter and Obama.
Blair is about as far to the left on every other contemporary issue as you can get, with the exception of the threat of Islamic Jihadists. But, because Blair recognizes this threat and openly speaks about it, he's persona non grata in liberal circles now - exactly like Joe Lieberman.
He made a few moves that I did not like but he did cut taxes and tried to privatize Social Security. The left loves you now because you are on the “see, everyone is doing it” bandwagon.
B-HO would have issued a stern professorial lecture from his bunker in Acapulco; “Let me be clear! There will be no ‘false choice’ between ‘identifying the enemy’ or ‘striking back’. I, with the help of my colleagues, will create and issue strong, comprehensive legislation which, uhhhh, combats such ‘man-caused tragedies’.” Then he would have rammed a bill down our throats for mandatory travel insurance.
The same crowd of Muslims would have been as equally ‘indignant’ as they are today - and exceptionally pissed off that B-HO didn’t ‘get’ their ‘message’.
Two men who took the Islamic threat serious. Bush’s legacy will be written by other than Big Media.
Pray for America
Tony always struck me as being “a little funny” as Fred Sanford would say.
Nah, he's just British.
Yes I do.
