In commenting on Blairs speech last week, Hans Blix like monsieur kerry, claimed the threat of terrorism is exaggerated.

[JOE6PAK]

One commentator was later to accuse Mr Blair of indulging in "heebie jeebie" politics.

How soon we forget.

'Blair's dramatic warnings ring terrifyingly true'

No surprise here.

That's because it was all cooked up at Bush's ranch in Texas to ensure his political success in November.

I know this because Ted Kennedy told me so.

" One commentator was later to accuse Mr Blair of indulging in "heebie jeebie" politics."

I think the families of the dead and wounded in Spain should get with the program and get over it.

After all, it's just a case of "heebie jeebie" politics.

Tony Blair is one of those unusual politicians who now and then leaps onto the world stage. He seems like a typical, say anything-to-anyone liberal sort. Then, suddenly, something happens that seems to bring out the very best in him. To transcend politics and become a statesman.

I had honestly always thought of Blair as a Clinton clone. But 9-11 brought out a side of him Clinton never posessed. A resoluteness, a moral line he refused to cross, and a willingness to sacrifice his political career in the service of his country if necessary.

I still can't say I like his politics. But I admire the man.

How many people have to die as a result of terrorist actions for the general populace to get a clue?

Does it have to happen to a first degree relative? Does someone they know personally have to die for a sense of outrage at and a resolve to fight terrorism to arise?

History will prove Bush and Blair correct and treat them well.

The worldly wise cynics who continue to scoff and sneer at the "so called threat" will continue to play with the dingleberries on their spotty behinds.

"Hans Blix like monsieur kerry, claimed the threat of terrorism is exaggerated."

That is what scares me. Those idiotic leftist say something and the next thing you know there is an attack. Just like Larry Johnson's op-ed in the WSJ in July 2001, saying terrorism wasnt a threat. BTW Larry Johnson was the first guy on TV the night TWA 800 crashed saying it was an act of terrorism

[raloxk]

"I had honestly always thought of Blair as a Clinton clone"

Big difference is Blair is a religious man who believes in morality and right versus wrong. Clinton's philosophy was to do absolutely as little as possible.

[zarf]

He embodies the term"loyal opposition" in a multi party system.

[ChinaThreat]

That is a perfect analysis of Blair. He is a politician for sure, but he does not bastardize human morality for political success. He is a human first.

[GeronL]

Blair is not in opposition

[omega4412]

"I had honestly always thought of Blair as a Clinton clone."

Likewise. But Blair proved himself a worthy successor to Churchill and Thatcher.

[MEG33]

Well said!

[math=power]

I know this man is quite liberal but I love him anyway.

He is one of the most ELOQUENT speakers in the world today who UNDERSTANDS the threat we face.

May God bless him and his family.

Thank you Tony Blair.

There was a good article written about him several years back in The American Spectator which provided some hope that he was not. The article referred to him as a "Salvation Army"-type liberal. I think we'd refer to them as blue-collar democrats in our country. He does have some true Christian values at his core.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Where would we be without Blair. Such a perfect complement to our President Bush. History will remeber these courageous men and the man from Spain as well.

[Spruce]

The Axis of evil is taking this war serious.

[Steven W.]

yes, the sight of Bush, Blair & Jose Maria Aznar, standing strong before the world, together, on the Island of the Hawks, came to mind today.

Hath Hanoi John Kerry muttered a single word of sympathy or insight into the grave events of this day?

In context, his childish & hateful rhetoric of the prior day past and his botox-laden mannerisms in defiance today make that man (Hanoi John) seem so petty, so trivial and beyond any concept of anything US citizens should aspire as anything presidential.
