<< I give Blair lotsa credit though. He has been steadfast in his support for America. >>
"Steadfast" is too strong for me. Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, has been steadfast. Mr Blair, teamed up immediately before and in the early days of the Iraq Expedition with the hapless Colin Powell and his treasonous State Department brahmanas, allowed the Saddamists to move their weapons and slip away -- and thus set up the situation with which we are now dealing.
And his support -- much appreciated as it is and although to be lauded -- has always been for Judeo-Christian/Western/Human Civilization rather than specifically for America.
In ways that every other in post-Christian Europe and most in both the Westminster Parliament and among those who comprise his electorate seem unable to see, Mr Blair knows our fight is for the survival -- or not -- of our very civilization.
And for that, I'll join in thanking God for him.
He sent troops, and lots of them. Gotta respect that.
