He will commit his military to fight the war against Saddam, the same as President Bush.

I'm not familiar with the cronies and company that Blair keeps so I can't address that. But he seems to me to be taking a principled stand on the war. Wouldn't it be so much easier for him to succumb to the pressure from those in his political realm? Why would he risk his political life for such an antipodal and unpopular stance? That's not how clintoon did things (take a poll, lick finger and test which way the political wind was blowing). Not for the fun of it, I'm sure. Or maybe I'm just a little naive . . .

His closest ideological allies and bosom buddies [And those among whom he must retain "political credibility" include, individually, such avowed enemies of Liberty and Our Nation as Javier Solana, "Hong Kong Chris" Patten, Jaques Chiraq, Gerhardt Schroeder, Yasser Daschle, Guy Verhofstadt, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, Jerry Adams, et al and, collectively, NATO, the EU, the IRA and the vast criminal enterprise also known as the British Labour Party.

Any of those ring a bell?
