some British to help defeat smirk in 04

Blair ally in poll threat to Bush

-snip-

Acting with the tacit approval of Blair supporters, who were enraged when Mr Bush imposed tariffs on imports of British steel to shore up his vote, the former trade and industry secretary will call for sanctions to be imposed on four key marginal states which the president will need to win.

The states - and the exports to be targeted - are:

· Florida and its citrus products. The state was the scene of the "hanging chad" saga in the 2000 presidential election, after Mr Bush and Al Gore virtually tied there;
· Wisconsin and its apples and paper. Mr Gore won this state by a tiny margin;
· Tennessee and its chemicals. Mr Bush scored a narrow victory in Mr Gore's home state;
· Iowa and its agricultural equipment. This state will play a key role when the nominations battle starts in January.

Mr Byers also calls for tariffs to be imposed on exports of textiles, which would hit states across the American south.

Mr Bush stepped up his charm offensive when, in an interview with Sir David Frost recorded several days ago, he said that he was delighted to be visiting a country where people were free to protest. But his emollient tone cut no ice with Clare Short, who resigned from the cabinet after the war. She told ITV the visit was "very embarrassing".

well, well, well, other countries coming to help us get rid of the criminal bushgang.

1. Excellent
The entire world needs to help oust this dangerous fool from the White House. They have every right to do so, for the Bush* cabal has trashed the entire planet, from pulling out of international treaties starting an illegal war that has increased terrorism.

Sadly, world, the thinking people of this country are up against an evil, multi-billion dollar machine dedicated to perpetrating American corporate rule on the entire planet. We need your help to take back our country and therefore to make things better for the rest of the world.

2. I wish other countries would rally, publicly, against this unelected
regime. I hate it that some of our states will be hit financially to wake people up...hell, if the medicare bill can't, I don't know what CAN wake people up.

This regime is a blight on the entire planet. They have GOT to go!!!
