A British minister aspiring to higher office later this year took aim at key elements of the Bush administration's policy on Monday, rejecting its phrase "war on terror" as only likely to encourage terrorists.

Speaking in New York, International Development Secretary Hilary Benn disputed the notion that military and economic force alone could solve world problems and restated support for the International Criminal Court, shunned by Washington.


Where was he 4 years ago?

When British Prime Minister Tony Blair resigns in the next few months after 10 years in power, Benn is seen as a potential candidate for either deputy premier or foreign secretary if, as expected, Finance Minister Gordon Brown replaces Blair.

Blair, the f'king little poodle, was supposed to leave in May. The sucker doesn't get that his time is up.
