Blair presses US over global agenda

The US must accept the importance of issues like a peace process for the Middle East, global warming and world poverty alongside terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, the prime minister will say on Tuesday.

Yeah. Got that, Tone. As if....Britain-- not the U.S.A.--led the world!
Lessee...we've got a "peace process" for the Middle East: the Paleostinians can have their own state when Hell freezes over when they behave like citizens of a democratic state.
Global warming? It's all crack-pot theory based on junk science and President Bush has already told ya, we're not buying any!
World poverty? If we Americans have to pay any more in taxes to go to the World Bank, the IMF, the U.N. and its charities, or just good old foreign aide, I'll have a stroke and die a bankrupt!
Now, put a sock in it!
[Poodle Boy made that speech yesterday and I haven't heard a word about it in the press, so it must have been as ignored as it deserved to be and we were kind of busy what with Bush introducing his almost $700 billion economic package, the swearing in of the new 108th Congress, the impending war in Iraq, nuclear proliferation in North Korea, etc., etc.
I'm sure President Bush will get around to responding to it, though. These are such salient criticisms of U.S. policy, after all. *Snort!*
Sounds like Blair is playing all the Clinton hits on his saxophone; he must be hoping that Bubba's coming over to be the new head of Oxford.
As Mr. T. would say, "I pity the fool..."!]
