Blair Urged to Send 'Top Envoy' to Iraq
Tony Blair was tonight under mounting pressure to send a top envoy to Iraq to stop the US calling all the shots.

Tory leader Michael Howard said Britain was “punching below our weight” diplomatically and politically and had to be given a greater role in decision-making on the ground.

He said Britain’s presence had been weakened by the departure of the Prime Minister’s special envoy Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the end of March.

The former British UN ambassador was a widely respected diplomat who impressed the Americans with his handling of negotiations over UN resolutions on Iraq.

1. Sir Jeremy Greenstock should have his knighthood revoked...
and be thrown in jail with the rest of the inept turds who started this war.

2. Basra seems quietly settled...Why can't the Americans do this?
Americans in Iraq reflect what is going on at home here in the US. No one knows what is going on with the our Economy,government,Jobs and our whole infastructure is cracking. No responsibility for anything. A president who is on vacation--on vacation! It's all so delusional. Down is up and black is white.
