Blair set to hail victory of war ally Bush
LONDON (AFP) - British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) was due to bestow warm congratulations on his closest ally in the Iraq (news - web sites) war, George W. Bush, as the Republican incumbent clinched a hard-fought win for the US presidency.


The prime minister, whose fortunes have been bound to his commitment to the transatlantic alliance, was expected to make a formal statement later Wednesday.


After a tense endgame debate over whether pivotal state Ohio could flip to John Kerry (news - web sites) and flip the Democrat's fortunes, the Massachusetts senator called Bush to concede defeat.


Bush was to give a victory speech at 2000 GMT.

1. The hand up his ass is showing...
...I mean seriously...England needs to get rid of that yappy puppet. I used to really like him, but his incessant cowtowing to the U.S. is embarrasing.

5. I know!
I read that here the other day, about him 'courting' Kerry. Wonder how many ways he's going to have to bend over to get back on *'s side.

12. As long as it happens when he's visiting somewhere else ...
... 'cos much as I dislike the little turd, I'd hate to lose even a
single innocent for the sake of his "enlightenment" ...

Maybe it could happen while flying over the ocean, the next time he
goes to kiss Georgie's arse?
