the sooner he resigns the better, when it comes to doing something about the suffering of the Palestinian and Lebanese people at the hands of the Israelis, Blair is just as bad as BUSH

Hopefully he is there to provide support to Israel so that they can protect themselves against terrorists.

Hey...Paul weinnie....I hear that the Taliban are recruiting a few good men.

Ah we are talking about Tony B Liar - the most mendacious prime minister we have ever had!!! I wonder if he is a Tory that infilitrated Labour to wreck it!!!

I don't think they're looking for folks that cry for Blair (and Bush) to take care of other peoples' business.

Aaaaah - well the one I am referring to thinks it is more important to be popular in the USA than at home; he is Bush's poodle and delights in it

Right, that is why Olmert now agrees to talk to Abbas with the release of the Israeli soldier that the Palestinians continue to hold hostage being an agenda point rather than a condition to talk. I'd call that progress and this progress was announced after Olmert spoke with Blair. That's a heck of a lot more than nothing.

I used to like Blair. Until he became Bush's right hand in illegally aggressing against Iraq.

Speaking of Taliban and weinies... you all know that our beloved U.S. Ambassador of Iraq, handpicked by Dubbya himself and who has been a card carrying member of the notorious, PNAC, worked closely with the Taliban for years.

Khalilzad initially viewed the Taliban as a potential force for stability and as counter balance to Iran, but his views changed over time, especially after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Zalmay Khalilzad served as an advisor to the giant oil company Unocal during the Taliban rule in Afghanistan. While working for the Cambridge Energy Research Associates in the mid 1990s, Khalilzad conducted risk analyses for Unocal for a proposed 890-mile, $2-billion, 1.9-billion-cubic-feet-per-day natural gas pipeline project which would have extended from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan to Pakistan. In 1997, Khalilzad "joined Unocal officials at a reception for an invited Taliban delegation to Texas." [13] (http://www.truthout.org/docs_01/01.14A.Zalmay.Oil.htm)

"Just as oil industry conflicts of interest have not been a concern for the Bush administration in its appointments, Khalilzad's historic support for the Taliban seems not to be either," wrote the environmental, anti-mining group Project Underground of Khalilzad's ambassadorship.

Good 'ol Bush and his cohorts - never let principals interfere with opportunity...unless of course they can exploit American principals to create opportunity. ...and they say these Islamic terrorists hate us for our prinicipals (freedom)...hmmmm
