Re: Only the lapdog Blair is on board.

Blair has been labeled Bush's lapdog in his own country:

Dismissing Blair's sympathy for the American president's military strategies as misguided, the mass-circulation Mirror newspaper has taken to referring to the prime minister as "the president's poodle." "We didn't do so lightly -- but the truth is the prime minister has done nothing but play lapdog to the Washington Red Neck," Mirror editors wrote in an editorial that appeared Friday morning. "Whenever Bush has barked, Mr. Blair has rolled over with his legs in the air. As other European leaders held back from jumping to Bush's demands (on Iraq), Britain under Blair has rushed forward with embarrassing haste."

As for including Bulgaria and Romania as supporters of war, you are clutching at reeds that are almost thinner than NCs. Are we having a contest on who can come up with the thinnest reed? Congratulations, it's a tie for first place.
