Tony Blair dancing now on CSPAN. Will he survive this mess?

[prolesunited]

Also, why did he go along in the first place? Do you think they duped him as well or was he in on it from the beginning?

1. Tony

Will walk through this. Butler as expected has essentially cleared him. Tony wishes above all things to cement his place in history. To do this he required a just war. He saw this as such an opportunity. The fact that his reasons have been blown to pieces won't worry him overmuch. He'll just repeat the "The world is better without Saddam Hussein in charge" without seeing the irony of such a vile little man making such a statement.

2. He was either

in on it, or he's too stupid to be Prime Minister, because obviously he's easily lead into very bad decisions.

3. Ego

He desperately wants to be thought of as the modern Winston Churchhill.

I do not think he needed to be duped.

8. Too bad for Tony

History will remember him as the king of spin and not as a great liberator or statesman. Maybe he'll be compared to Winston on some points. Winston also advocated using poison gas to deal with the less advanced enemies of the empire. Tony advocates the bombs of freedom.

Phony Tony.. you're going down.

4. If CSPAN is still showing it, Michael Howard is doing a goob job

as prosecuting counsel. He said: "would the country still trust the PM to lead them into war? Does he have any credibiltiy left?"

5. No, they just showed

a brief snippet. It's open lines now.

[Spazito]

6. It is being streamed on CSPAN 2...

Blair is up now.
