RE: "so is it a majority now? (as opposed to only "only Blair")"

It was only Blair, according to a friend in UK who heard him get slammed by his colleagues during their session, as I mentioned here:

"Blair got trounced in their version of Congress."

Message 20659416

Meanwhile, as I had already said but will repeat again for you, outside of their version of Congress:

"The UK public is not happy with the war. Not at all."

And the polls prove this to be true.

On a different note, do you have any contact with folks outside of the USA? Just curious, am not being sarcastic here.

My friend's description of what Blair went through was rather stunning - their system is much more grueling on the leader than ours is. Their version of Congress really grilled him hard, meanwhile our Congress didn't do that with Bush at all.

So I have a lot of respect for UK's 'Congress' process because it involved extensive grueling questions for Blair.

Regards,
