] Date Posted: 18:32:07 11/13/04 Sat In reply to: Ed Harris (London) 's message, "Air strip at Stornoway, not FW!" on 18:14:57 11/13/04 Sat Here is a scoop that I have just stumbled upon, prepare to be astounded. I don't know if any of you watched the joint news conference between Bush and Blair, but it appears that the Tony Blair that attended Washington was not our Prime Minister! President Bush was asked if the Prime Minister in his attendance was, in fact, his poodle, he responded with the honest words: “He's a strong, capable man. I admire him a lot. You know why? When he tells you something, he means it. You spend much time with politics, you'll know there's some people around this part of the -- this kind of line of work where they tell you something, they don't mean it. When he says something, he means it. He's a big thinker. He's got a clear vision. And when times get tough, he doesn't wilt. When they -- when the criticism starts to come his way -- I suspect that might be happening on occasion -- he stands what he believes in. That's the kind of person I like to deal with. He is a -- I'm a lucky person, a lucky President, to be holding office at the same time this man holds the Prime Ministership. These are troubled times. It's a tough world. What this world needs is steady, rock-solid leaders who stand on principle. And that's what the Prime Minister means to me.“ [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:04:28 11/13/04 Sat I used to think that Blair was a political chameleon, bending with the slightest breeze of public opinion whilst working behind the scenes in a sinister manner on his true, secret agenda. But Dubya seems to have more of a point these days. Over Iraq, Mr Blair has stuck up for his policy in the face of furious opposition, just as Thatcher did before him, in the unshaking belief that he is right, no matter what anybody says. Since Mr Bush only sees TB with his foreign policy hat on, I can quite understand how he came to his rather odd conclusion about Mr Blair's sincerity. We, of course, who see him at home and know what he's like with domestic policy, know better... [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
