An Observation From The Middle East

[ThomWV]

This was part of an article from Gulfnews, posted about a week and a half ago. The author is Manal Alafrangi, a Staff writer. Its nothing new, but interesting that it should be noted as it was in this opnion piece. Here is what was written:

- - snip - -

"In the past, Britain used to stand up for what is right and it usually separated itself from the American agenda. Today, we see Blair more than ever backing any US decision made on the Middle East.

This was most recently demonstrated in the lunch-chat he had with US President George W. Bush at the G-8 Summit.

Spoke casually

Unaware that a microphone was switched on, they spoke casually about the situation in Lebanon and gave us some insight into their unequal relationship.

Bush interrupting Blair almost every time the latter spoke and telling him what to do was telling of the nature of the relationship shared by the US and Britain - with Blair stuttering and blithering in every sentence."
