Bush and Tenet should apologize to the British. They insulted British integrity as a competent ally. And they were wrong.

England has no integrity, nor credibility, even in the modern age they lied us into WWI and laid the foundation for WWII.

Let me see... Just when did Blair twist Junior's arm behind his back and force him to use this info in the State of the Union speech anyway? Bush is actually admitting something more serious here: that he never had any nuclear evidence in his own hands prior to his beating of the war drums. Now it's time to shift the blame to Britain.

It's shabby treatment of a very loyal ally. And it created another storm of criticism for Blair to handle at home too. I would guess that next time, Blair will think twice about helping us.

Blair is a poodle and a disgrace.

Idiots. If they don't shape up, there won't be a second Bush term.

God Bless America!!!

The problem is that you have dried eyes, that create distorted vision. Get some eye drops.

I think WW I was a little more complex than that. A lot of detritus from the end of the colonial era and everyone was scrambling for position and shot themselves in the foot. And if anyone lied us inta a world war, it was Roosevelt.

Blair is a Third Way guy and pretty big on the EU. But if he's a poodle, then he's Bush's poodle so I don't see what point you're making here. Blair is a socialist for sure. But he was a loyal ally to us against tremendous opposition at home. He spent his own political capital on our behalf and made some enemies like Chirac. Tenet 'apologizing' to Bush is a slap in Britain's face, however you slice it. And it makes us look incompetent.

The Tenet apology was a huge mistake. I thought that Rice backing away from that statement was a good thing but it was still a blunder that gave fodder to opposition press in both countries. Stupid move.
