Labour MPs call on Blair to quit (BBC News)
Tony Blair has been urged to quit as prime minister before his third term ends, days after Labour's election win.

Despite securing a historic third victory, the government's Commons majority was slashed from 161 to 67.

Several Labour MPs have called for Mr Blair to resign as an electoral "liability", among them former health secretary Frank Dobson.

(snip)

Jeremy Corbyn, MP for Islington North and a fierce critic of the Iraq war, predicted Mr Blair could be out of Downing Street within a year.

4. Ah, that is my best dream ever.
Except for the part in which I'm certain President Frist might show up.

7. Robin Cook
the foreign secretary whe resigned over the war in Iraq has also just been on TV urging him to resign.

Its all been a big plan by the Labour Party. Let Blair carry the middle class right of centre vote, once we're back in power kick him out then get rid of the New Labour Dictum.

Woo Hoo we're going to have a socialist government in Britain

10. We Did It to Nixon
it could happen, if people only knew

BUSH, CHENEY IMPEACHED!!
Senate Vote is Unanimous for Removal
Will Be Turned Over to ICC For War Crimes



When incontrovertable evidence of Bush complicity in the 9/11 attacks
became public knowledge, even his own party had to repudiate him...
