Geode, I'm surprised that the revelations in the document from Downing Street doesn't get more exposure in the press. The provenance appears to be reliable, with names named as to how the conversation between Bush and Blair came to be recorded and leaked. I don't believe the revelations in the article were picked up by any American newspaper. That Bush included Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, as countries that must, at some future point be dealt with, shows that Iraq was part of a much larger overall strategic and military objective. That is very chilling. I think also to say Bush "a nut who is liable to make any ridiculous remark" speaks volumes...unfortunately more so about the people who still support him, and this nation, than about the chief himself. And like you, I don't understand what the heck has happened with Blair. Bush and the American right wing have turned him to the dark side.
