This is a calculated slap in the face to Weird Bill, my friends - Ivan

I thought he was friends with the impeached ex-President. What happened?

[nopardons]

Thanks, old friend, for the ping , the post, and Tony's support ! :-)

I thought he was friends with the impeached ex-President.

He was Buddies with German Chancellor Schroeder, too. Sounds like Mrs. Blair will have to do some heavy duty editing of the Christmas card list this year.

This contrasts sharply to what's coming out of Europe, notably from Germany.

It's one thing to obtain a token resolution from the U.N. to appease international leftists.

It's quite another for an ostensibly sovereign nation to balk at deploying its own troops in support of an ally without the blessing of a third party global bureaucracy.

If you read Andrew Rawsley's book "Servants of the People" (which is pro-Labour but useful), you'll find Blair was upset with Clinton because he could never get a commitment out of Weird Bill. For anything.

Bush is light years ahead of Clinton in character and honesty. Tell Tony to fire away at Mob Boss Clinton.

What happened between Wierd Bill and Tony, I thought they were bringing on the Third Way!!
Or was it the Third Wave!??

[MadIvan]

Or was it the Third Wave!??

Well Hang Ten, then, "Dude". ;)

Blair and Clinton got on less well than is widely perceived. If you read it through a couple of times, you'll see, it is jamming hot needles into Clinton's eyes.

Thanks for the special late night ping!

Looks like we are getting closer to Show Time!

In his interview, Mr Blair praised the American president as a man to work with. "The thing that has impressed me most is that he's really direct, he's really to the point, he's very straight and he's extremely easy to deal with," Mr Blair said.

"There's no hidden agenda, or undercurrents to the conversation. It's down to business and everything's out in the open and discussed properly."

Excellent. Thanks for the post and the ping! The British are our best Allies !

That's kind of foolish. The impeached ex-President has a strong allergic reaction to telling the truth, so even if he got a commitment it wouldn't have meant anything. Just so long as he never let Mrs. Blair be alone with the impeached ex-President, he's O.K.
