It's just been announced in a speech by Tony Blair the he is to stand
down as Prime Minister of Great Britain & Northern Ireland on June 27th.

I was just wondering what you guys over in the US really thought of him.

who cares. lol

A Bush Lackey... Yall will be better off!!!!

hey fanta..

Yeah. My sentiments exactly. I guess Bush will have to start buying
toilet paper now.

hey swt...

Just curious when Margaret Thatcher was replaced by Tony Blair. I just
remembering hearing his name one morning and not hearing hers any more.

Margaret Thatcher wasn't replaced by Tony Blair, She was replaced by
John Major

I like Margaret Thatcher, Of course she was Reagans lackey wasnt she???

Yeah, but Ronnie could only f..k up. that's why Maggie Thatcher was
always on top

They made a good team!!!

well he is keeping his word

said he would now he is

good for him

Blair was a sharp guy. He did a lot more for England than the one thing
people like to hang him for. He helped make England a place for foreign
investment, kept the economy strong so there could be a good work base.
Made England more competitive in world markets, and was a good friend to
the United States.

You should hope to find someone as good to take his place. but I am
thinking it will be tough. If you don't like his ilk maybe you can put a
call into ol' Chirac. I hear he is unemployed. Perhaps you'll prefer
cooperating with Russia to cooperating with the US.

Blair was no Lackey. He had his own mind and thought for himself. He
simply happened to agree with Bush on certain issues, being a thinking
man and all. Bush might not be a great speaker, but he has a team doing
some thinking for him. Blair may have had some alignment with that team.

Bush is an idiot!

I'm not really up on British politics but I always thought Blair had the
courage of his convictions. I admire that in a person.

I'm so tired of hearing bush bashing.....funny he was elected a 2nd term
huh? people who can only say Bush is an idiot, seem like idiots
themselfs. He is the President of this country....and as long as he is,
to disrespect him, is a sign of being nothing but a whiner. We have a
lot of men fighting now in Iraq..for what this administration and
americans believe in whats right... u listen to opinion polls, do you?
lol the majprity dont even participate in them... who elects the
officals? the silent majority does, thats who. some idiot says Bush
putting our kids in dangerous areas.... what kids? wheni was 18 I was a
man... my parents couldnt tell me what to do.... this is not Vietnam,
that was a draft time.. and alot men didnt want to go into the
military.... this is Iraq where the soldiers are volenteering to go to
war.... its a volunteer army!!!!!!!!!so lets get real... I admired Tony
Blair!!!!!! I never bad mouthed Clinton, and wow he may have deserved
it. The people who complain and protest now are the same who protest
everything.. professionals..... I am an army Vet and I stand with our
Sldiers and along side need be... How about you?

Glad to see someone step up to the plate Trizar.

For you bashers who love to complain about Bush being an idiot, let me
remind you that he became president and I never even heard of you
before. What have you done for to distinguish yourself? Can you drink
several six packs of beer a night? Hold down a bar covered with empty
shot glasses? Who really gives a damn if you think Bush is an idiot.

Blair is quite sharp, watch him in the House of Commons on CSPAN
sometime. He makes good, fast points, clearly and then steps aside to
let others speak. His positions are well thought out, and few in the
house hold a candle to his logic or speaking style. That is the reason
he has been able to move important measures though the system and
prevail in politics.

Bush is an idiot!!!!.

So who was John Major? I must have slept through that part.
