You know, I am quite certain that Bush knew whenever Clinton met with Blair. It may have been a surprise to The Guardian, but since the Secret Service (employees of the US government) accompany Clinton wherever he goes, it was NOT a surprise to Presidient Bush.
Since Blair apparently ignored Clinton and stood with Bush and the US, what is your beef, exactly? Even President Bush has to meet with some idiots from time to time. It doesn't mean he takes their advice.
This is just Clinton trying to spin his role into something more relevant than it was.
I agree with you. It's obvious that you are aware of what a Leftist, biased rag "The Guardian" is.
I just wish more Freepers would realize that ANY political story that originates from The Guardian must be regarded with absolute skepticism.
