1. Why should anything happen to Blair.

An English PM going along with everything, even without legal basis, is a valuable asset to any US Preseident.
At the moment I wonder more about what the ICC will do.

2. Blair will switch sides immediately ...

... and before we know it, he'll be phoning Kerry to set up an international conference on "The Fourth Way" or some such crap.

I hope that Kerry will have the sense to turn him down.

3. Kerry's Poodle?

I guess he will make friends with the next president. I still can not fathom what he sees in the Chimp.

4. He was great friends with Clinton too, I suppose.

I would see it as gross hypocrisy, but I wonder how many others would. Lib Dems are getting my vote anyway.

5. Yup, he is just a great friend.

No matter where this leads him. He will be great friend of the next president too.
I wish I had friends like that. I just can not understand what he sees in the Chimp.

Maybe its a character disorder?

8. I think you may be right.

Well he is going down too, it seems. This is kinda sad. He could have made other choices.

7. What hapens to Blair?

Blair will most likely carry on poodling along, only this time to more sensible US policies. I can't see any reason for Kerry to flush "new" labour down the toilet.

Oh, and the supporters of Gordon Brown will be very chuffed, as the Chancellor is known to be close to Kerry's crowd.

10. He will probably be replaced by Gordon Brown

would be my guess. However, I can see no reason as to why Kerry would have a problem with Blair. Prior to this most recent war with Iraq Bill Clinton spoke to the Labour Party's Annual Conference in support of Tony Blair and his Pro-War position. Blair's position was little diferent to most Washington Democrats. It depends on if ( and how ) George Bush is beaten by Kerry. It may be that the process of defeating George W. Bush will take down Blair as well.

As much rancor as Tony Blair raises amongst sections of the US left he has a great deal of support from many in the DNC.

I'm still voting Labour, anyway.
