Blair "horribly wrong" on Mideast - aid agencies

[cal04]

Some of the world's major aid agencies said on Friday that Prime Minister Tony Blair had got his policy on the crisis in Lebanon "horribly wrong" by failing to call for an immediate cease-fire in the Middle East.

Blair's stance has put his country at odds with the rest of the international community, seven agencies, including Christian Aid, Save the Children and Oxfam, said in a joint statement.

"The situation on the ground is grim and getting worse," said Janet Symes, Christian Aid's regional manager for the Middle East.

"The prime minister has in the past provided admirable leadership on humanitarian crises. We can't understand why he has got this one so horribly wrong."

3. the long explanation is

because he's bush's bug eating manbitch butt poodle. Don't ask for the short answer.

It is tragic that Tony Blair thinks currying favor with the U.S. by licking Bush's boots is worth taking flak for irrational bias. I don't know how they can sleep at night.
