If Tony Blair gets impeached, what effect will it have on the US and Bush?

1. It will be really bad for Chumpy and Cheeny. nm

2. If Tony gets impeached, perhaps some of the * faithful will

finally start to see the truth behind the lies and the BFEE will finally fall.

9. You really think that? Wow, you have more faith in the bushbots than

I do! Oh wait, you did say, perhaps? Well, let's hope that is true!

3. I think it will rock the house of cards even more.

They aren't holding up too well.

4. Doesn't it seem really strange to you that we all loved Blair

a year or so ago? I remember reading on Du how Tony was a real leader, and he was such a good man. What happened? He always supported the US, and our President, no matter who it was.

I realize everyone thinks if Tony is impeached, the info that will come out there will help sink Shrub, but why does everyone hate Blair all of a sudden?

5. Becoz he is a liar, just like the chimp. nt.

11. Wow, I have never seen anybody have anything but scorn for Blair

Have yu got a link to the threads I had to have missed where people were praising the poodle?

[napi21]

15. I don't know how far back our archives go. It was a while ago.

I'll check but how long the Du history is, I don't know.

[napi21]

16. I just checked. DU history only goes back 6 months.

The other thing is that General Discussion says (Protected). I don't know what that means, but I suspect it means a search doesn't check there.

21. I just tried a (successful) search back to early 2003

using the advanced search features.

23. The GD and LBN archives appear to go back to July 7th, 2003

so unfortunately the comments in the run-up to the Iraq invasion aren't there, but the reactions after certainly are - and they are nearly all anti-Blair.

22. DU has every post ever made in its archives

so you should be able to find it.

24. There were a couple of very vocal Blair supporters

'AP' (who I haven't seen for absolutely ages) being one that sticks in my mind. But from what I remember, disappointment with Blair soon turned into disbelief which hardened into an abiding hatred.

13. I haven't loved him since he was the fresh-faced Clinton-lover of 97

Who was going to lead the British left into a brave new ear of progress... not a Brave New World. :(

[stillcool]

14. Well, he is an eloquent speaker

..and until he became complicit in an illegal, immoral war...i didn't regard him one way or another. Now, he's a conspirator to mass murder, with financial gain...what's to like?

[formercia]

6. There will be a public record of the proceedings

which might supply evidence of the complicity among the various governments involved in 'The Coalition of the Willing', leading up to the War against Iraq.

7. Whatever happens in UK government has an effect here

Something that huge (or hugh !!1!! as the case may be) will have an extensive effect on Mortimer Snerd and Co.

[Independent_Liberal]

10. Right! It will be HUGH!

:D

[bullimiami]

8. do they do impeachement? I thought the idea was to force a no confidence

vote to oust him and then have early elections.

[Double T]

12. The U.S. should follow suit and impeach the entire bush administration....

with NO CHANCE of pardons for any and ALL.

[Christa]

18. No, I want to see them tried in The Hague

nothing less.

[shenmue]

17. It'll be serious trouble...

for what remains of the lousy credibility of either one of them.

[spindrifter]

19. Since the Brits Don't Have

impeachment in the same way we do, why don't we show them how it works?

[Christa]

20. ah-men. nt.
