Why Tony would vote for Dubya (Blair, that is)
The Observer ^ | October 24, 2004 | Andrew Rawnsley

His advisers have been telling Mr Blair he will be best served by regime change in Washington. The Prime Minister isn't convinced

When George W Bush's poll ratings recently dipped, every Labour MP cheered. Correction: every Labour MP except one. The Prime Minister fretted to one close friend: 'Whenever Bush weakens in the polls, they start mucking about.' Who are these 'they' whose 'mucking about' makes Tony Blair so anxious? They are Iran with its sponsorship of terrorism and its ambitions to go nuclear. They are Syria. They are the psychotic regime in North Korea along with the rest of the planet's rogue and risk states.

The mind of Mr Blair was summarised for me in vivid terms by someone who has an extremely good claim to know what is going on inside it: 'Tony thinks the world is a very dangerous and precarious place. Bush is the tough guy who keeps the bad guys under their rocks.'

Tony Blair has been a true ally and friend since 9/11. God keep him strong.

I adore Tony Blair. A true friend when we needed one.
