Blair told to refuse his US honour

TONY Blair was last night under intense pressure from the Labour benches to turn down a prestigious Congressional Gold Medal from George Bush, the United States president, as the political fall-out from the Iraq conflict continued to bedevil the Prime Minister.

One back-bench Labour MP said accepting the honour would be like "taking an award from Satan" as speculation mounted at Westminster that Mr Blair would have to refuse the medal.

The decision to award the Prime Minister the highest accolade the US can confer on a foreigner has been approved by both the Senate and the House of Representatives, but no formal ceremony will take place when Mr Blair visits Washington on Thursday.



The look of terror is in his eyes, it's a look that time can't disguise...

2. Oh, we need to send Blair a Best in Breed Medal!

I stole that from another thread......coined by our very funny JohnnyCanuck. Too funny!

Oh......that pic of Blair is hilarious! Deer in the headlights, man!

And look at how he keeps his tie loosened. I am sure he is grabbing at his neck wondering why he is feeling soooooo very constricted....

Wow.......I can't believe a brit.....any brit......referred to Bush*/the USA as SATAN.

Can ya just see all these thugs on both sides of the pond saying, "geeze...okay, we could live with the Iraqis not throwing flowers at our feet.....but gosh, our OWN PEOPLE?!!!"
