my god he's good at spin and playing the media... christ check this out

"A YouGov opinion poll for ITV News on Tuesday suggested that Mr Blair is winning over public option for a war on Iraq.

A total of 50% said they supported military action, while 42% said they were against."

Thats why he's prime minister, not cos he's good at what he needs to do, but because he's sucessful at winning support

another quote from the same article

"In the Commons, Mr Blair said that if the UK pulled out of possible military action it would give America "the biggest impulse to unilateralism you can imagine". "

See, he can play anything, whats with this dude?

have no idea, the guy is a lefty, but has been acting very right-wing lately. Have no idea, I'm surprised, he supported Clinton and now he is supporting Bush, strange, but hey, its working for me:)

The house of commons just passed vote to support the military action in Iraq. They have endorsed it, as much as many of you brits may not like it, I am pretty greatful to the British government for their work;)

He's a cheerleader, he goes with what needs to be gone with to bring him sucess on a wider scale.. and slowing bush down and almost grabbing a second resolution is an example of that. Another example of his immense spin powers

"This house wanted this decision. Well it has it. Those are the choices and in this dilemma no choice is perfect, no cause ideal, But on this decision hangs the fate of many things"

He's damn good at speeches, as apposed to bush who is crap but truley believes what he says. Personally i'd rather try and understand someone who believes in what they are doing than be woowed by someone who is good at spin but I can't help but be impressed by his performances in the old houses of parli

i disagree blair is a lefty .. he got rid of that a while ago. interestingly enuff he had the torries backing him and 160 of his own were against him in the vote on supporting iraq war. this tells you alot i guess.

He is good when it comes to getting support for something outside of a country, but he is a pathetic leader. He aaaalways ends up running off to handle a international issue when something crops up at home. Good god bring round the next elections, and good god get some decent oposition! >_<
