Blair actually cut back on the Labour delegation sent to the DNC. I think he is nervous about the Francophile John Kerry, and rightly so.

"I think he is nervous about the Francophile John Kerry, and rightly so."

Kerry, when asked about his strategy for redeploying US troops abroad, seemed to be saying that he would pull US troops out of Iraq and convince the French and the Germans to replace them with theirs. Yeah, that would happen. I can't imagine why Blair would be nervous about Kerry.
