Bush and Blair plan terror summit
http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=289932004

Sat 13 Mar 2004

TONY Blair is to fly to the United States for a summit meeting with George Bush at which he will reassure the US president of Britain?s commitment to the war on terror and attempt to thrash out details of the hand-over of power in Iraq.

While terrorism and the reconstruction of Iraq will be top of the agenda in the wake of Thursday?s bomb attacks in Spain, the Prime Minister will also want to shore up British-American relations, which have been placed under strain by the row over the use of intelligence ahead of the war; the award of contracts for work in Iraq; and the detention of British prisoners at Guantánamo Bay.

The meeting, at the president?s ranch in Crawford, Texas, is expected to be the final opportunity for the two leaders to hold one-to-one talks ahead of the US elections in November. They will use the summit to underline their message that there can be no let up in the war against terror.


Oh, isn't this special. The poodle will be here to give W a needed boost in the polls. And the poodle and W can talk all afternoon about their favorite subjects, war, terror, more war, al qaeda, iminent threats, terror, war...... Sounds like it will be a real good time.

1. A summit of two? Where's the rest of the Coalition of the Willing?
Afraid to be seen with the Shrubmeister? That's not a summit; that's just two people talking to one another.

4. How many times is this the poodle's come running?
And Bush has visited Tony exactly how often?

What an embarassment Blair is.

6. I don't think Junior is welcome in the UK any longer.
Remember the widespread protests in Britain on his last visit?
Besides, the Queen has a bone to pick with him, too. It seems our "leader" ruined her gardens at Buckingham Palace. No apology was given by her rude and ungracious guest...and, the British citizens had to foot the bill to restore Her Majesty's rear garden!

Nice, eh?

I'd say Junior is just as much an embarrassment as Blair.

7. He's going to tell Bush
"Another fine mess you've gotten us in!"

With apologies to Laurel and Hardy.

8. So, who do you think they'll terrorize next?
Should we start a betting pool on the country and the date?

10. I wonder how Blair will deal with Kerry?
He's so firmly planted up *'s arse it's hard to distinguish where one man ends and the other begins.

I can't imagine Blair betraying his * meister by cozying up to the enemy. So sad. Blair, like many others, used to command respect in the world community. But then, alas, they cast their lot with the * gang. The rest is history.

11. We will find out who is next on the PNAC agenda
Some careful analysis of the text resulting from this meeting should provide insight into PNAC's next phase in the plan. I suppose Tony will also want to know how big Anzar's payoff for supporting the invasion will be, now that he (Anzar) is out of power. It will be important information, for Tony's post-political career.

12. To meet and discuss what? Their complicity?
Their lack of complicity? :puke:

from the article: "Arnaldo Otegi, leader of the banned Batasuna party, later accused the Spanish government of manipulating the attack for political ends."

b*sh 9/11 ads.

We need to keep asking the hard questions. And NEVER stop demanding those answers to the hard questions.

13. Shucks! John Howard isn't invited!
Does that mean he's really insignificant after all? And after all
the crawling he did to be invited to Iraq.

14. Howard
Edited on Sun Mar-14-04 01:45 AM by Aussie_Hillbilly
I think Howard is still seething after the "free trade agreement" backhander Bush* dealt him not long ago. <laughter> And another Bali Bombing would diminish his reelection prospects (even more). So no more (public) support for Shrub. Notice how quick he was rat out on Bush and bring the troops home after the "victory". Not very Churchillian.

Do you think he was the one crawling to be invited to Iraq? I got the impression he only went along as a quid pro quo for a nice FTA.

18. Howard wasn't invited to the pre-war "coalition of the willing" summit
And that summit included Aznar -who was committing less in terms of military personnel and resources than we were. Sure he did get an invite to *'s ranch in Crawford -where Jay Leno saw a picture of him and mistook him for Dick Cheney (how appropriate)-but I think that Dubya knows that he can just walk all over Howard and treat him like garbage and Howard will still be willing to do whatever he tells him.

20. How dare these two war mongerering murderers
Edited on Sun Mar-14-04 07:41 AM by Marianne
pretend to meet to discuss world wide stragtegies and more wars. How dare they!

How dare the stupid and ignorant George Bush think he is capable of representing this great country in any sort of meetings at all? How dare he pretend he is a great statesman. How dare he!

How dare this less than intelligently endowed AWOL asshole pretend he is a world wide leader flitting about making all sorts of important decisions for my country!

How dare he pretend he is a president extraordinaire when he nothing but an asshole clown and a stupid one at that.

May frogs rain down on their heads for three days and nights while they are at the pretend ranch--pretending to be wise leaders. War mongers both--sleezy war mongers and war criminals.
