"Yo Blair, here boy, here boy. Now sit. Good Poodle". Bush to meet Blair at White House July 28 President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who have a difference of opinion about a multilateral force for southern Lebanon, will next week hold their second face-to-face talks this month. Bush and Blair have been strong allies on the Iraq war and many other foreign policy challenges. But Bush has yet to sign on to Blair's call for deploying an international security and monitoring presence along the border of Lebanon and Israel. In a private conversation picked up by an open microphone during a Group of Eight summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Monday, Blair said the force was essential to stopping violence between Israel and Hizbollah guerrillas. "I think the thing that is really difficult is you can't stop this unless you get this international presence agreed," Blair told Bush. Bush's position is that he wants to hear the report of a U.N. mission to the region on whether such a force would be worthwhile. He has declined to endorse calls for a ceasefire from U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and others, insisting Israel has a right to defend itself and blaming Syria and Iran for supporting Hizbollah. The White House said in a statement on Friday announcing Blair's July 28 visit that the United States has no closer ally than Britain and Bush appreciates Blair's leadership. An ample agenda for their talks was laid out that reflected a panoply of international crises. "The two leaders will consult on efforts to secure a lasting peace in the Middle East, consolidate democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan, prevent Iran from obtaining the means to build nuclear weapons, end the genocide in Darfur, and promote free and fair trade," White House spokesman Tony Snow said.
