Blitzer: "America's best friend (Tony Blair) enters the hospital"

[Bluebear]

So, now, Tony Blair has been dubbed 'America's best friend'.
Rudy Giuliani is 'America's Mayor'.
The Dallas Cowboys are 'America's football team'
Tha Atlanta Braves are 'America's baseball team'.....

Does America get to vote on this shit or is it just assumed?

1. With friends like that...etc,. etc.

2. More like George Bush's only "friend"

Tony Blair was an enabler to Bush and his filthy war plans. Blair is no "friend" to the American people who are paying the price in dollars and lives of George's misadventures in Iraq.

3. He is Bill Clinton's friend also

Trust Tony's judgment

Last October, when I spoke at the Labour conference in Blackpool, I supported the efforts of President Bush and Prime Minister Blair to renew efforts to eliminate Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, and to try to accomplish this through the UN.
In November, the UN security council adopted unanimously resolution 1441, giving Saddam a "final opportunity" to disarm, after 12 years of defying UN resolutions requiring him to do so. The resolution made it clear that continued sanctions were not sufficient and that continued defiance would lead to serious consequences.

The credit for 1441 belongs in large measure to Blair, who saw it as a chance to disarm Saddam in a way that strengthened the UN and preserved the Atlantic alliance. Unfortunately, the consensus behind 1441 has unravelled. Saddam has destroyed some missiles but beyond that he has done only what he thinks is necessary to keep the UN divided on the use of force. The really important issues relating to chemical and biological weapons remain unresolved.

5. I disagreed with Clinton back then

and I'll bet that today Clinton regrets telling Americans to "trust" Tony Blair. Blair's support emboldened Bush to thumb his nose at the rest of the world, and to rush to fulfill his lust for an Iraq war.

4. To Brits, Blair is just generally known as "Fuckwit"....

and in the next election, the boy is toast.

Maybe he was hospitalized for panic attacks?

9. Blitzer as usual is full of shit.

Bush*'s enabler is no friend of the US. Because of him we are bogged down in a growing disaster. Chirac and Shroeder are much better friends of the US because they told us the truth and tried to stop us from hurting ourselves badly.

10. He's Bush's best friend

and George Bush is America. "L'etat c'est moi"

[Anarcho-Socialist]

11. I don't understand why Republicans idolize Blair

His domestic policies are to the left of the Democratic Party.

12. Wolfie's best friend
