Reports: Blair to leave office in '07 (1 Viewer)

[KidRocks]

I liked Tony Blair for the most part, he and President Clinton made for a formidable team. Like I said, I liked Tony Blair... until he unashamedly became President Bush's personal "poodle"

And now Tony Blair is nothing but a "casualty of war", a statistic if you will. His legacy much like President Bush's is null and void thanks to their co-ordinated invasion of Iraq.

Tony Blair will fall in disgrace and will soon be followed by President Bush, or is it the other way around?

Doesn't matter much now does it?

It looks like Saddam was a genious compared to those two buffoons.

Doesn't it?

Blair has said he plans to serve a full third term, but this week reassured lawmakers from his governing Labour Party that he would step aside in time for his successor to settle into office before the next general election, expected in 2009.

The Independent on Sunday newspaper said a Cabinet minister, asked whether Blair had said he would go next summer, responded: "I'm not going to tell you exactly what Tony said but I wouldn't disagree with that."

The newspaper quoted another unidentified minister as saying that "almost half the Cabinet" has now been given private assurances about a departure date by Blair.

Blair's office refused to comment on the reports on Sunday, and Blair is refusing to confirm the arrangement in public because he fears the main opposition Conservative Party will start a countdown, the newspaper said...

We watched a repeat of Prime Minister's Questions on C-Span tonight. Blur certainly didn't seem himself-he got awfully rattled and didn't seem to be able to match up to Cameron. Perhaps he spent too many years opposite colorless Tory leaders like Haig, Smith and Howard. He's lost his edge.

Blair staked his career on Iraq, he is now one of the most hated politicans in the UK. The lies he said to go to war with Iraq has made him untrustworthy. The only reason he won the last election is because the Conservatives did not offer any credible opposition - Michael Howard, I mean come on, no one wants to see him be PM.
The Labour Party is suffering because of him, he needs to go for them to survive. But Blair is obessed with his legacy. His legacy will be leading the UK in the first great military blunder of the century.

Bye, bye Tony. :2wave: Nice knowing ya.
