Strain starts to show on Blair
CNN ^ | May 3, 2005 | CNN

It took a second look to ensure that, yes, it was Tony Blair. Eight years of government are now well etched on his features and the strain of the election is showing.

Blair, remember, is not used to having to fight elections in the fullest sense of the word. In 1997 he was a fresh face, a welcome relief after eighteen years of the Conservatives, elected almost by acclamation to replace a tired old government weakened by sleaze allegations. In 2001 he was a prime minister in total command facing an unfocussed and still divided opposition.

Once Tony Blair sees these pictures, he should think why he funded the Ugandan corrupt regime for that long. Please go to:

Typical CNN hit piece. They will never forgive Blair for supporting Bush on Iraq.

This is the same Tony Blair funding the budgets of Rwanda and Uganda (around 50 %) with his taxpayers'money !!!
Isn't that guy as corrupt as Museveni? So, was Idi Amin Dada, alias "Big Daddy", with that court around him? Funny years, uh!

Around corrupt African leaders, you'll see the same scenario as in those Idi Amin Dada pictures. Blair & Co are still around and they do fund around 50% of the budget of Uganda, led by a corrupt leader called Museveni (Number 7).

Were you aware that Uganda has virtually no AIDS cases.

The government pushes abstinence and monogamy.

As for your comment that the government is corrupt, can you name a single government anywhere in the world that doesn't have corruption?

About 900,000 Ugandans have HIV, about 10 percent of the population. Another 1 million have died from the disease.
