This just means that Blair needs to go FULL STEAM AHEAD. No worries about an UN Resolution. He's toast if this lingers and we will lose an ally on the ground.
Let's roll!

We need mass protest against Anti war demonstrations. They are a ruse being used by Hussein to manipulate world oppinion. The money for International Answer and NION comes from the MIDDLE EAST FOLKS!
This opposition to the war on terror manifested itself within weeks of 9/11 with aim of opposing an American military response to the al-Qaeda attacks. Its agendas are not "pacifist" and are not inspired by dissatisfaction with any particular American war or policy, but with the American system itself. It is a movement which cannot be appeased and which is willing to collaborate with America's enemies.
Every major "anti-war" demonstration to date, including the demonstrations on the Capitol Mall in October and January has been organized and controlled by a self-styled Communist group called the Workers World Party, and its front "International A.N.S.W.E.R." The figurehead of this organization is former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and its organizer is Brian Becker, a member of the secretariat of the World World Party. The WWP is aligned with the North Korean Communist regime and along with its figurehead has supported the North Vietnamese torturers of American POWS, the Ayatollah Khomeni regime in Iran, Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein.
At the Mall, the speakers - all selected by the Workers World Party - denounced America as an imperialist aggressor and "the axis of evil," and called for "regime change" and "revolution" in the United States. An imam from a Washington DC mosque led the crowd in chants of "Allahu Akbar," which is the cry of the suicide bombers as they blow up innocent civilian targets. Mohammed Atta, the leader of the 9/11 suicide bombers, gave these instructions to his team: "When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers."
John Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee was a featured speaker at the Workers World Party "peace" rally, as was former Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Representative Charles Rangel, the ranking Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee sent a letter of support. In a sister demonstration in San Francisco, also organized by the Workers World Party, California State Senator, Democrat John Burton, told the protesters that the President of the United States was "full of s___" and was "f---ing America."
So appalling were these demonstrations that older members of the left disassociated themselves from this movement in articles that appeared in leftwing magazines like Salon.com and the L.A. Weekly (the latter article was written by David Corn, Washington editor of The Nation).
On February 15, an anti-war protest will be held in New York City, organized by a new group called "United for Peace and Justice." This group is headed by Leslie Cagan, a Sixties Marxist with a long history of supporting Communist causes. She was a member of the Venceremos Brigades organized by Cuban Intelligence. She was a member of the Committees for Correspondence, a faction of the Communist Party USA, and she is co-chair of the National Network on Cuba an organization whose purpose is propaganda and political support for the Castro dictatorship. Cagan has warned that, "If marches do not work, we will escalate. We will have to do things to disrupt the normal flow of life in this country."(NYTimes, 2/04/03) This threat of sabotage should not be taken lightly given the history of more than 1,000 domestic bombings during the Vietnam War.
The agendas of the so-called "peace movement" are pro-Communist and anti-American. Its organizers have worked with America's enemies in the past and are continuing to do so in the midst of this war. This is the very definition of a political "fifth column." Honest dissenters and Americans concerned about the future of their country should take a hard look at these protests and those who support them.

What's the difference between "Labour" and "Liberal Democrat" (yes that could be a good joke, but I'm actually wondering in terms of UK parliament?) :)

Good grief.
"Charles Kennedy, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, responding to the Prime Ministers comments during his monthly news conference on the crisis over Iraq, said:
The Prime Minister implies in making his moral case for regime change that anyone who is not yet persuaded of the need for war is somehow less moral than he is.
A lot of people in this country will resent that implication."
"No case has been made for war!"
"He said the case is one of morals. Hey he's saying we're immoral!"
My six-year-old has a better sense of intellectual logic than this.

I still have questions. Why aren't Labouuuuur and the Liberal Democrats on the same team? Whatever's successfully keeping them split up -- that's what we should be working toward here with our lemmingleft.
And just as important as recognizing Blair for the socialist he is, I'm curious why he stands with us? Especially in light of the drumming he's taking. I mean, how can he be a true socialist AND have a sense of honouuuuuur AND have some cajones?
The world is so confusing.

here is the labor web site
http://www.uk250.co.uk/frame.asp?id=2725&c=150&catUrl=http://www.labour.org.uk
We will come through these uncertain times by holding firm to what we believe in. One such belief is in the United Nations. I want to solve the issue of Iraq and weapons of mass destruction through the UN"
Tony Blair

Because I believe George Bush and Tony Blair are the same. Both are Socialist! Both believe in the UN. The reason I have not posted much today is because I have been researching this all day.

Tony Blair also said that people should support Labour in the May elections for our record investment in public services. "If you want a decent health service weve all got to pay for it. Dont apologise for it; go out and campaign for it in every community up and down the country.
Sounds like President Bush huh.........we have elected a Socailist President of The United States......
I have much more if you want to read truth? If not I won't post it, but everything Tony Blair and his party want and do and stand for is the same as President Bush.
This is why we are going to the UN with chance after chance....
that is where my study took me today....and it all began here last night on this thread...

The left wing Labour Party, got itself elected because it chose Blair, a centerist, fairly pragmatic leader. The majority of the Labour Party membership remains left wing and anti American. The Labour Party is torn between its liking for power, and the realisation that its "power" is being excercised by Blair, who does not always act in accordance with it's wishes.
The Lib Dems have historical been a kind of "dustbin" party, taking disenchanted protest votes from whoever happens to be in power. Since Blair moved to the center however, the Lib Dems have moved to the extreme left, in order to try and take disenchanted "old Labour" voters away from Blair.
Blair is a Socialist, but not as we knew them. He will enact Socialist policies, but only if they do not cost him the support of the center.
Also, to give Blair credit, he is a patriot, and will act in Britains best interests, even if that alienates him from "old Labour" voters.

I suppose I should just shut up and take Blair's friendship for what it's worth, at this point.
