His style, stealthy substance, and politics were reminiscent of BJ himself. After 9/11 he took the mantle of a Churchill-- being able to call evil evil, and in Blair's case, in the face of political opposition in his own party.However, if there's any world leader who's Iraq position needs deeper historical analysis, it is Tony Blair. Remember, he was PM before and during our 1998 Operation Desert Fox against Saddam, and was still PM when Bush gave his September 2002 speech to the UN, putting Saddam on notice before our invasion in March 2003. He was there throughout this entire WMD-craze phase of our relationship with Iraq from Clinton (who the Dems supported) to Dubya (who they eventually did not). Blair was there and ended up agreeing with both Bush and Clinton on how we should go about dealing with Saddam. I wonder if the MSM will pick up on this detail?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1888','Ryan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1888','Ryan','I also thought that Tony Blair was Britain\'s version of Bill Clinton for the very reasons you stated in this post.
