On NPR's TotN today. Blair thanks everyone but the US for sailors release

[Jacobin]

Interesting conversation with various people on this afternoon. The Brit said it was remarkable that when Blair thanked practically everyone in the Middle East for helping to resolve this, he didn't mention the Bush one single time. She said it was a real slap in the face.

When asked why she thought Blair didn't mention Bush, she said it was because early on, Bush referred to the sailors as 'hostages' which ramped up the rhetoric and pissed off British diplomats beyond belief.

Another diplomatic fork up for our Little Lord Pissypants to put in his scrapbook.
