Katie Couric: Will Brits Blame Tony Blair for Attacks?

Most pundits gave Prime Minister Tony Blair rave reviews yesterday after he assured a his stunned nation that al Qaeda's attack on London would not persuade him to abandon the war on terror.

But NBC's Katie Couric apparently wasn't impressed.

Covering the aftermath of the attacks live with NBC "Nightly News" anchorman Brian Williams, the "Today Show" hostess observed: "He is quite a polarizing figure in Great Britain. I know his support of President Bush, his support of the Iraq war has won him, actually, a lot of enemies."

Citing a recent poll that showed 68 percent of Brits opposed the Iraq war, Couric suggested that they might actually blame Blair for the attacks, wondering aloud: "Do you think this is going to create more antagonism toward the British Prime Minister?"

I can't imagine her saying that about GWB*.

2. Exactly, thank you.

She's right about Blair. This probably will NOT win him friends among the British people, as most of them were already pretty pissed off about his lap doggy style with bush.

But she needs to save some of that vitriol for the chimp, too.
