Blair and Bush

Now there is debate in UK after the General Dannant's comments about the British troops in UK. They are wondering whether they should get out of Iraq when it is possible with the army intact or whether to continue into the slide into anarchy and get caught up in the aftermath. I think Bush will not allow Blair to get away so easily. Blair is tied too closely to Bush and is blinded to the reality of wht is happening in Iraq. Bush will stay the course as he has nothing to lose himself. Blair has his escape route in the form of Gordon Brown who has already been anointed as successor. So it is just a question of time before both leave the scene altogether. Bush will be fired by his people when the Republicans are dislodged in the November election and Blair has taken voluntary retirement. So both have nothing to gain by withdrawing troop now. What a pity, as they will stay the course and cause more damage to the fabric of Iraqi society and destroy more of it in the process.
