Why can't you see that Blair is beholden to corporate interests? Tony was not leading he was doing his masters bidding.

"If had stayed out, that would have meant exclusive US control of Iraq "

CONTROL. That was the goal admittedly but as TiB points out most right minded people knew that contolling Iraq would be impossible.

So by giving a veneer of respectability to a facist regime he in fact stopped American facism? More likely is that Tony Blair is setting Britain up to be Austria to Bush's Germany.

AP your constant defence of Blair is at least consistent. But I remember you defending him when he said there were WMD. Then I remember youu defending him when he said that liberating the Iraqi people was important. Now you're defending him on an economic basis.

You can't have it all ways.

I agree Tony Blair was in a hard place. He bottled it. I think he's a coward and a fraud. I think he does the left a disservice. He is a third way charlatan who beguiles the weak and stupid with a smile and a silver tongue. He's a bout as genuine as this Rolex I'm wearing that my dad bought for $6 in Hong Kong. It looks the part but inside it's another thing altogether.
