Daily Mirror
By Bob Roberts Deputy Political Editor


TONY Blair last night warned George Bush about the US going it alone in the world.

In a rare public attack he said America must work with Europe in the fight against terror.

In a speech in London the PM said the UN should take on a bigger role pressing for reforms in countries that "injure" their own citizens.

He added: "None of this will work unless America too reaches out. Multilateralism that works should be its aim. I have no sympathy for unilateralism for its own sake.

HE ALSO said: don't parody or lampoon US foreign policy or its politicians.....

1. Who cares what you think, Tony?

Maybe he is finally starting to get it.

A day late and a dollar short.

Jerk.

[indepat]

46. Yeah who cares what Tony thinks: other than financing our budget and trade

deficits, propping up our dollar, and buying our weapons and other products, what do we need the rest of the world for anyway?

[wickywom]

2. I'm sure he asked for permission first.

Advice from Rove most likely.

[othermeans]

57. Sounds like a pretty tepid warning. nt

[justinsb]

3. Shovel Faster Tony

He has an election coming up, I think that's all that's behind it.

[mazzarro]

43. Nailed it - damn you!

That's waht is driving this "permitted" outburst.

[Philostopher]

4. Woof! Woof! Yap-yap, arf!

Enabler. He's one of the primary reasons the Naked Emperor thought he could get by with this shit in the first place.

He has an election to win sometime in the not-too-distant future, though, and he's already been warned to stop looking so much like America's poodle.

[emad]

11. WoofWoof: "North London lads to record Xmas special to rival

BandAid":

Three young lads from Hampstead, North London, today received backing from anonymous financial sources (believed to be erstwhile members of Democrats Abroad) to record a new Xmas single based on the ever popular "She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes".

As I understand it the song is to be the same as sung by anti-Bush protestors outside Buckingham Palace in November 2003 when Junior had his State Visit:

"If you think that Blair's a poodle, sing WoofWoof.....If you think that Blair's a Poodle sing WoofWoof...." etc.

Last night Blair told the audience in the City of London's Guildhall not to mock American foreign policy or parody it's political leaders....

[Philostopher]

15. Heh -- I like that.

And I've always wanted to ask you -- how many people 'got it' on your old screen name? I've often wondered ...

[emad]

19. Don't know who GOT what or when...but an amnesty's an amnesty

and it was either EMAD or my old calling card Nom de Guerre, used elsewhere.....

[Philostopher]

25. I just always thought it was funny ...

that read backwards, it was 'Anastasia Dame' -- perhaps that wasn't intentional, then.

[hatrack]

5. Yes Tony, your floppy ears and curly coat have George all worried!

Who gives a shit what the Chimp's biggest foreign enabler says, thinks, does or excretes?

[jayfish]

6. Someone Get A Muzzle On That Flea-Bitten Mutt ASAP. -NT-

Jay

[0007]

7. Tony sez, "I love you but you don't give a fuck about me"

"Democracy is the meeting point for Europe and America. I am not advocating a series of military solutions to achieve it but I am saying that Europe and America should work together."

Can't wait for junior's trip to 'old Europe' - Maybe he'll get the hint, no?

[not systems]

Blair might get forced out of the administration for disloyalty...

maybe he will lead a moral crusade against satire
of the emperor's new robe to redeem himself.

[hollywood926]

8. Funny how the poodles wait until after the election to speak out...

I have neither pity nor respect for any of these A-holes who could have prevented the re-election of the Fascist if they had spoken out earlier....BLAIR, POWELL, MCCAIN...piss off. I will never forgive you.

[central scrutinizer]

9. Bush to world: Go fuck yourself

I no longer have to pretend that I care about you or what your think. I cannot run for re-election so I am going to spend the next four years stealing as much as I can for myself and my family and turning my back while my corporate cronies steal everything that isn't nailed down. And to all of you working class people who I scared into voting for me: BWAH hah hah hah - go piss up a rope, I never gave a shit about you and now I can stop pretending.

[Birthmark]

10. Won't Tony get cold?

I mean, he's out there without the warmth of Bush's lap!

[vinessa4freedom]

13. strategy

nah, Tony wants to divert people's attention from the U.S. Fraud Committee. After Bush loans them out to get Tony 51% of the British vote, they'll be all chummy again.

[liberal N proud]

12. Did bush and blair not have a good pow-wow?

is there a rift between these two great agents of the COALITION?

[carolinalady]

29. I'd say he's pissed.

How many times will he continue to let GW publicly humiliate him?

[Seabiscuit]

38. "A good pow-wow"? How about "a good bow-wow?"

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

14. He had better be careful, with Armitage stepping down from State

maybe ** will appoint him PM!

[Fleshdancer]

16. Is it campaign season on the other side of the pond??

Too little too late Tony.

[bin.dare]

17. Tony, you are still a mass murderer,

not just for the recent dead in Fallujah, or the 100,000 over the last 18+ months, but also for the 1,000,000 during the sanctions in the 90s.
now that elections are on the horizon, you call for shrub to work with other europeans. Pathetic and it will not save your sorryful arse. you shame what the Labour Party once stood for in britain.
Shame, shame on you and may you rot in hell, or worse, in Fallujah.

[emad]

18. US does not pay back favours, says Chirac

Blair got nothing for support of US in Iraq, says French president

The Guardian

Tony Blair and Jacques Chirac clashed openly last night over the future course of Europe's relationship with the United States as the prime minister insisted they must work together for world peace and the French president suggested it is increasingly pointless.

Mr Chirac, speaking ahead of his state visit to London, said that Britain had gained nothing in return for supporting the US over Iraq and that he did not think "it is in the nature of our American friends today" to pay back favours.

"I'm not sure, the US being what it is today, whether it is possible for anyone, even the British, to play the role of the friendly go-between," he said.

The French president's words came in direct contradiction to Tony Blair, who insisted last night that Europe needed to work with America and could help shape its policies. Mr Blair used a keynote speech in the Guildhall in London to warn Europe to stop "ridiculing American arguments and parodying their political leadership" and to concentrate on persuading Washington that "terrorism won't be beaten by toughness alone".

AND:
Ignore the intellectuals - Blair and I get on fine, insists Chirac
By John Lichfield in Paris
16 November 2004


President Jacques Chirac travels to London this week for another session of what he called yesterday "tough love" between Britain and France, in which he hopes to advance the causes of Middle East peace and European defence.

But in an interview with British correspondents in Paris yesterday, he spoke pessimistically of Tony Blair's chances of obtaining any significant concessions from the Bush administration on the management of the twin crises in the Middle East.

"I'm not sure the United States, as it is today, in its present mood, is ready to make concessions to anyone, even the British," he said. "They are not in the mood to do one favour in return for another."

In most other respects, before he spends Thursday and Friday completing the celebrations of the centenary of the Entente Cordiale, and the annual Anglo-French summit, M. Chirac was in a upbeat, even ebullient mood.

20. So it starts

This is first step for Blair to break away from US.
Just a matter of time till we are completed alienated from all of Europe. Except Poland

[Seabiscuit]

the P2 Lodge, Enron, etc etc.........

[Pithy Cherub]

21. Blair is in rehabilitation.

Most unfortunate for him it is the poodle groomer's year off. Tony, Tony, Tony did ya not get that your words don't match your actions. Your authenticty levels are anemic and need some leadership iron!

[emad]

22. That speech:

Don't go it alone, Blair tells US


He wants the United Nations to take a bigger role in ensuring states protect rather than injure their citizens.

Mr Blair said co-operation should be a US aim, adding: "I have no sympathy for unilateralism for its own sake."

The speech at the Lord Mayor's Banquet focused on ensuring Europe and America work together to foster democracy and human rights.

Mr Blair again appealed for people in Europe not to ridicule American arguments and parody their leadership.

[Iris]

52. oooh!!! I'm scared!!!!!! n/t

[indypaul]

31. Tony it wasn't raining

he really was pissing on your leg. If W asks the
U.N. for assistance then he will piss off his base
of right wing wackos and Osama bin Laden. Read
bin Laden's letter to Mullah Omar of April 11, 2001
that appeared in Sept 2004 Atlantic Monthly. "Inside
Al-Qaeda's Hard Drive" by Alan Cullison.

32. Blair warning: "Keep those doggie biscuits coming, or I'll doodie on the

[sixfive]

34. actually...

He forgot Poland!

[partisan to truth]

35. lol n/t

[mmonk]

36. Knew it was coming

Blair has no recourse because of the pressure on him to get some sort of co-operation out of bush with the EU. There is no chance, most likely, but he has to try to remain politically viable in the UK.

[Gayla]

37. Comparing Blair to a Poodle

is insulting to the canine species.

[vet_against_Bush]

40. Must be election time... nt

[indigobusiness]

41. Go easy on the ultraviolence, Georgie boy...

And easy on the Milloko Plus, my droogies...fun is easily taxable.

[DuaneBidoux]

44. So the Poodle nipped its master?

[Quetzal]

49. So the poodle is "yelping" I see

It's too late now - Everyone knows you're just trying to save your electoral @$$.

Too bad - you really shouldn't have been such a tool.

[peekaloo]

50. Is Tony proposing a *gasp* "global test"?

:o

[tsuki]

53. 'merikans will never submit to the rest of the world. We are the

world.

[gordianot]

51. I look forward to seeing Tony return in Parliamentary elections.

Then we can advertise universal stupidity in the English speaking world.

[mitchum]

54. Do I hear the sound of a small dog barking?

Too little, too late, poodle bitch
