Okay, maybe I'm the last to post the link to the Tony Blair--Jeremy Paxman--Concerned Citizens interview that happened a few days ago in the UK.
Blair may be wrong on Iraq, but at least he has the guts, skill, and intelligence to answer questions from a very hostile audience and keep his composure. Could you imagine Chimpy McCokespoon being able to answer anybody's question on Iraq? Could you imagine him actually being able to form a coherent sentence? Could you imagine an American being allowed to ask a question like the one below to the pResident and not being carted off to Camp X-Ray?
MALE: The three biggest countries against the war at the moment are Russia, China and France and they've all signed agreement with Saddam to explore the western oilfields.Is that why they're against it because they're frightened that if the US and Britain go in the contracts will be torn up?
TONY BLAIR: No, I don't think that's the reason either actually. Let's wait and see where France and Russia and China end up on this.
I mean, there have been differences between ourselves and France, between those countries you've mentioned and ourselves and the United States.
