I'll say right now....I do not believe it.

I admit, it is based in part on not wanting to believe it. But I defy anyone to listen to the stirring speeches Blair gave in the days and weeks leading up to the war and since and detect the hand of clinton. The only thing was the wanting the 2nd resolution. Did clinton propose that? If so, my hope that Blair had washed his hands of his association with clinton, perhaps was realized after he saw how worthless that advice turned out to be.

I am truly disappointed if this is true. I don't want to believe it!

I suggest that Clinton advised Blair TO BACK THE WAR so that Bush would go down the tubes if the war went bad or it dragged out closer to the elections. Also, as I said above, the Dems want the GOP to be preoccupied with foreign matters and not have time to undo Liberal domestic programs.
