KUDOS, TONY! Has this gotten much play in the media? Gee, I wonder what John Kerry, CNN and all the other RATS think about this? Of course Blair won't criticize Bush in public, but he could have refused to comment or said something more wishy-washy. Me thinks Blair probably agrees with Bush.

Blair would be a better American than any of the 9 Democrat candidates for president.

Hard to imagine a stauncher ally than Blair. He has risked his political life for justice for the Iraqi people.

President George W. Bush on Thursday defended the decision, which drew fire from France, Germany, Russia, Canada and the European Commission, even as Washington ramped up its effort to get those countries to forgive Iraqi debt.I've heard this "problem" mentioned in almost every news piece about the restrictions. Gee, poor Jim Baker, having to go to all those countries asking for their forgiveness of Iraqi debt and get grief about this contracting policy.
WAKE UP! This just gave Jimbo a pretty big stick and if anything, facilitates his trip. What leverage did he have before? Well, he sure has some now. There is a new sheriff in town and the Barney Cam shows him wearing a white hat.
Louie said it best, "poor froggies."

I'll never hesitate to admit I spent lots and lots of time underestimating this guy. Not since 9/11, though.
Cheerio, Mr. Prime Minister

He's playing to all those contracts the companys in his country are gonna get out of this. I was on the way to Glasgow last summer and a lad sat next to me who was on his way back from Iraq. He worked for a corporation who repairs oil field equipment. Thats all he said..that and how hot it was there.
