    If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.

    I am not suprised : he spent years doing everything USA asked and got little in return.

    Not sure why UK does not try him for treason.

      Maybe a picture of Blair bending over and taking it from the yanks?

        Excuse me while I go vomit....
        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

              In his last week in office, President Bush will award the medal to Mr Blair, former Australian PM John Howard and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.
              I know my mate from Oz thinks of John Howard in much the same way as we think of Blair, not only on the subject of Iraq, but things domestic. As for Colombia, aren't the Yanks supposed to hate them for all the drugs coming from there?

                The picture on the medal should be of a general in an armchair, and as its from the yanks, the coloring should be blue on blue

                  That's the best impression of "Stewie" from "Family Guy" I've heard all day!

                    Nice spot - I was going for the Stewie effect (having a go at Brian re: Novel).
