A powerful read. Thanks for posting it.
To: Pokey78
Thank you. It was filled with valuable information. I had no idea what was happening in British circles. It makes me admire Blair all the more.
When someone is honest about the facts, the right remedies will be applied. Thankfully, the allies are waking up and helping out.
By the way, the interview with Tommy Franks in Cigar Afficianado is quite revealing. Read it twice.

A very heartening post- between this one and the one from the German--
"Pleasant German OP-ED: Admiration for Bush and the American Way", I find myself feeling a little hopeful tonight-- do you think it is the holiday spirit, or are we on to something?

Thank you for this post, Pokey78.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ann Clwyd was in the shower when the news started coming in from Iraq....
She got an excited telephone call from a friend in Iraqi Kurdistan saying, 'Have you heard, have you heard? Saddam has been found'. For Tony Blair's human rights envoy to Iraq and the woman who brought the House of Commons to hushed silence earlier this year when she implored fellow MPs to back the war against Saddam on humanitarian grounds, it was a moment of quiet joy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She was a wonderful and powerful ally from the beginning.
Rummy thanked her in person, in England.

This woman is a heroine and she doesn't even know it. On many points she has been overly idealistic, but on Iraq she was dead on.
Thank you Ann, for your passionate speech that helped to solidify the move to war. I know that war is abhorant to you, but it really was the only way.
To: Ragtime Cowgirl; Pokey78
Excellent article.
I have the utmost admiration for this gutsy and principled lady.
