Blair May Have Tough Time As Ally on Iraq

LONDON - Prime Minister Tony Blair paid at the polls for his friendship with George W. Bush and his backing of the Iraq war. Now he may have trouble playing the role of faithful U.S. ally on any future military mission.

The prime minister was able to drag Britain into war despite resistance among the public and even within his own Labour Party largely because his huge majority of 161 seats in Parliament gave him a broad mandate to dictate foreign policy.

He will probably no longer be able to swim against the tide of public opinion with his new majority of just 66 following Thursday's election.

7. There is no way

Blair would follow Bush into anything else ie Iran.

All the shit about WMD whatever he said people wouldn't believe a word even if it were true, and everyone in Britain would go wild

Another thing that pisses me off. What if we were in real danger and Blair said quick everyone the whole of Britain would tell him to fuck off and we'd be in trouble.
