They would like to have a conference and go over the Baker-Hamilton report and basically hash out the best plan that is possible in such a screwed up military endeavor. Will it be perfect? No. Will it be helpful to Iraqis? Probably not.

What on earth could be in it for him to make him Bush's lapdog? Did he sell his soul to Bush to get elected or something? <br /><br />It seems as well that the Dems have taken the misneachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11655813967717333073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26135644.post-83584555820499186412006-11-08T15:34:00.000+01:002006-11-08T15:34:00.000+01:00Sorry, when I said, "The British government has no...Sorry, when I said, <i>"The British government has no similar right to extradite Americans to the US"</i>, I meant UK. <b>Obviously.</b>Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466059072530968330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26135644.post-2052012594853314742006-11-08T15:32:00.000+01:002006-11-08T15:32:00.000+01:00Misneach,

The British government has no similar right to extradite Americans to the US. It is simply shocking but is also fairly typical of Blair's attitude towards Britain and the US where he appears to see us as something akin to a 51st state.<br /><br />And I have Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466059072530968330noreply@blogger.com
