Tony Blair to Join Carlyle?
He'll fit right in.

IS BLAIR OFF TO JOIN $30BN WORLD ELITE?

TONY Blair is expected to join one of the most exclusive groups of businessmen in the world after he leaves Downing Street.

The PM is being lined up for a highly lucrative position with the Carlyle Group - an American-based investment giant with strong links to the White House and the defence industry.

The firm has been nicknamed "The Ex-Presidents Club" because it has had a host of former world leaders on its books including George Bush Senior, his former secretary of state James Baker and former British PM John Major. There a also a large number of former US Army top brass.

Mr Blair has been keeping quiet about his plans after his departure from Number 10 - which could be as early as 2007 according to some Labour insiders.

4. They lie, they rob, they kill...and they don't care who knows, do they?
They are so arrogant and confident that they don't even try to hide their connections and motives anymore, do they?

The US and the World are being destroyed by Bush Co. and his pet poodle Blair helped him out in the lies and destruction and now he gets his treats....

Wow...how utterly and amazingly blatant and obvious, yet clearly, they don't care...

How do the Brits feel about that one?

5. Now it all comes together - Bush & Blair even vacation at same times!!
Bush-Blair & Kerry can meet at Club Carlyle at shoot the shit...it just all is coming together, Tony Push equally as hard for WMD's scenario but at least this schmultz apologized for; "getting it terribly wrong" but continued on to say that Saddam was a terrible man.

This sounds like a bad Hollywood movie....

8. Where's the outrage
Are they rioting in the streets in London? Has Tony been taken to the Tower? For all those that think that the tide is turning - the other shoe is about to drop - forget it. We are fucked with this croud. Resistance is futile.
