What has Tony Blair been up to lately?

[Unknown Known]

What Tony has been up to lately is nothing short of earth-shattering and has gone completely under the radar, but the long-term implications, if he proceeds, are historical.

Tony is moving towards EU -

1) in support of an independent EU military structure outside of NATO

Tony Blair, UK prime minister, has dismayed the Bush administration, which believes he has embraced European Union efforts to set up an independent military structure outside Nato.

2) in support of EU constitution which may possibly usurp the British Crown.

The Queen is growing more concerned about Tony Blair's plans to sign a European constitution that she fears could undermine her role as sovereign.

This truly is a war of the dollar vs. the euro.

Not only does Tony have BushCo pissed at him now, but also the Queen. :scared:

1. Well, so much for friendship.

The US proves once again, that it's 'jes bizness, thas all'.

They show loyalty to no one. Blair went out on a limb to be the only European power to stick up for the Bushmeisters. What did he get for it? Nothing but sand kicked in his face. Can you imagine the UK needing some assistance, or Blair needing personal help to support his sagging image? Not in this lifetime. Blair will be cold in his casket before the US decides to help him.

Bush is traveling to the US to visit the Queen next week. Maybe the two of them will gang up on him?

6. I posted about this a month ago: ex-CIA agent on Democracy Now

said that the CIA planned on blaming the Niger Uranium claim on the British. That's how they talked the guy in the CIA who had the right to object to let it go. The guy ended up resigning because, although he said he wouldn't object to the inclusion, he ended up objecting over the exact wording.

I strongly believe that the PLAN from the beginning was to USE the uranium claim to sabotage Blair.

That's how Bush treets his "friends."

3. good move tony

the monarchy is antidemocratic, and europe has brought more human rights in to britan than the local legal system had to start with. It is wise, healthy and good for all people what you say.

But inside britain, tony will live or die on whether the health service, education and crime situtation changes for the better... foreign policy is tiresome and off-subject.

As violent crime in britain is rising, tony should focus on a drugs law reform (aka holland) to end the stupid punishment of british youth for experimenting with life. Heck, traces of cocaine are all over the scottish parliment bathroom counter.. :ha ha ha!! i read that in today's newspaper... showing the precise hipocrasy of moral-tony and his murder-the-druggies crap policy.

Unfortunately the libdems have decided to try to steal seats from the conservatives (read tory's) which has implied a move to their right thus undermining their natural constitutency and confusing the opposition by making both opposition parties stupid. Good job tony for getting your opposition on both sides to do something stupid.

Keep up the good work, but Rt. Hon. Mr. Blair, if you just but dropped your attachment to criminalizing british people for being the druggies they are (include alcohol and cigarettes and britain is one big drug clinic) and you'll win the world. Leave me smoke a cannabis joint legally of the type i prefer to consume from a safe supplier that is non-criminal and you'll win the world.

4. NATO has called an emergency meeting over Blair's decision

Tony's working both sides of the aisle!!

The US has called an emergency Nato meeting to challenge the creation of a stronger security and defence policy for the European Union.

The call by Nicholas Burns, US ambassador to Nato, reflects growing unease among Pentagon officials over the way Britain wants to work more closely with its EU allies in building credible defence structures and better military capabilities. But it also highlights tensions in the transatlantic alliance, with the US seeing any future EU defence policy as a potential competitor to Nato.

Meanwhile, the Conservatives at home are trying to push for a referendum on the EU Constitution signing

The Conservatives are intensifying their campaign for a referendum on the issue, with an opinion poll Thursday suggesting that three out of four British voters back their stance.
