I was able to see his entire speech, given Wednesday, on C-SPAN last night, as well as the toasts at the state dinner in Buckingham Palace. The president paid an absolutely heartfelt, strong, and incredibly gracious compliment to Tony Blair. Here's the verbatim quote:

"America has always found strong partners in London, leaders of good judgment and blunt counsel and backbone when times are tough. And I have found all those qualities in your current Prime Minister, who has my respect and my deepest thanks." President George W. Bush, November 19, 2003 (with strong, firm emphasis on the word "backbone").

It took a beat or two for the audience to absorb this, but they gave a warm round of applause when they did.

For those who are interested, here's a link to the full text of this magnificent speech by our President.
