hi Jacob:

maybe you could help me in finding an answer on
why is tony blair getting out of this ?

for years the question been dogging me.
it is too late now for blair to back out.
and i assume his support garner UK a few contracts
to rebuild Iraq. or maybe some financial benefits
to cherie blair ( just pure speculation )

during the initial preparation for invasion,
tony blair provided the intellectual heft,
credibility, prestige and experience to the argument
of imminent danger from WMD.
he was and still now taking great risk to his political
career in doin so.

with the UK political system, blair can lose the confidence
of his Labor party and be booted out of his prime ministership any time ala margaret thatcher.
i like the way the parliament debate issues in the bowel
of the house. ;o)

the question still is, what is tony blair getting
out of his support ?

thank you
toddy
;o)

ps; if you have TV running Bush speech, not looking
at it but listening, your impression would be someone
running for president of Iraq, no ?
