Good to know that President Bush's 'lapdog' will soon bite the dust according to script because according to 'script' disaster is engulfing the Bush administration ever since President Bush attacked Iraq.
Saddam has crushed Bush and Blair and even he didn't realize the consequences of the invasion of Iraq. I did and I can hardly wait for November and approximately next May.
The ramifications are going to be hell for both Blair and Bush and the GOP!

"I would have preferred to do this in my own way," Blair said. He refused to set a specific departure date, but said the annual Labour Party conference this month would be his last. The next conference is scheduled for September 2007.

Eight junior officials quit Wednesday to insist on Blair's resignation, and news reports said Blair and Treasury chief Gordon Brown, who is considered likely to be the next prime minister, had a shouting argument in Blair's office about a handover date. The two may have ultimately reached an understanding...
