1. Notice the difference between them.
I hear * say the same things he's always said, and then Blair actually makes a compelling argument. I don't agree with him, but when he says that the attacks should make us want to defeat them even more is a good argument - much better than "suiciders hate freedom" bullshit.

And notice how * didn't let Blair answer the question about "This may be your last visit, what will you miss the most?" What a dick.

2. During Clinton's presidency when Blair was involved, I liked him.
I think Il DUnce has brought him way down and compromised him on this war. His legacy will really suffer, and I'm sure he's worried about that.

35. I think Blair's a decent guy. He's just been had.
And he knows it, so he's trying to do the best with the mess he's gotten into. And of course he has to be chummy with *, since the Iraq debacle means that no one else wants to "hang out" with him.

And just a gripe - at the end, * says "Can I buy you dinner?" So, the state dinners come out of his pocket, do they?

36. Even after the British are saying he had veto power over the war?
There's speculation that if he had said no, Bush wouldn't have gone in. Still just a decent guy who's been had?

37. The Neocons wouldn't have let * back down.
There was NO WAY he wasn't going in. 9/11 was just too good of an excuse to pass up.

5. Question about mistakes. . good one
Which do you regret most
Bush says he wish he hadn't said "Bring it ON"... (wants to be more sophisticated in his expression)

7. regrets saying "Bring It On" ... probably because Laura spanked him
for saying it.

Hey Chimpy ... we know what you meant ... and we hated it too. It wasn't just "misinterpreted" in other areas of the world. Moran!

13. Bliar is apologizing, oozing with practiced emapthy
Hes a professional liar that man, no ordinary bush, but a proper nixon,
an OJ, a liar of clintonian, "i did not have sex with that woman." promise.

I feel so relieved that i can trust blair. (to take out my garbage,
whilst watched closely by 4 security professionals.) Blair can be
trusted to undermine common people to kill thousands of lower class
people because he is a traitor to his party, and he will continue
to apologize for mass murders of "lower" civilians as he is not at all
focusing on that, but his own place in history, where smart and powerful
murderers get their own corner of the museum!

Without blair, bush wouldh ave not been able to achieve his war crimes,
and as forktongued as the bastard is, i hope he tries to talk his way
out of a grizzley bear cage.

15. This pressor is going on much too long, they are both looking worse
and worse which is good in one way but shocking for the world to see.

Two super powers taken down by their own leaders.

24. No, he wasn't talking about Rummy
He was talking about the grunts on the ground. No one in the military makes any decision on their own.

23. War Criminals
It's been proven over and over again, and now they're illegally occupying a sovereign country, killed God knows how many people, why TF do the reporters treat them with such undue respect?

Disgusting

27. Smirky, what have you been paying for Abu Ghraib
for a "long time?" You and your minions and Rumsferatu have been trying to dodge that little problem for years. Lying, covering up, moving people around the world, personally being involved in torture planning for individuals. It must have cost you a lot. The cover up.
