Kerry will leave 'Bush man' Blair in the cold

[Feanorcurufinwe]

HE Welshman at the heart of John Kerry's US presidential campaign last night warned that if his man reaches the White House it would leave Tony Blair out in the cold. Steve Morgan, who has been working as one of Kerry's political advisers during his successful bid to become the Democrats' candidate in the US elections in November, said Mr Blair's relationship with President Bush could work against him. Mr Morgan, who was born in Maesteg and is an expert in election forecasting, said a victory for the Massachusetts Senator would leave the Prime Minister out on a limb and facing a transatlantic timebomb on Iraq.

Mr Morgan said Mr Blair would be isolated in the run-up to a UK general election if there was a Kerry victory. Although the Butler Inquiry into Britain's use of pre-war intelligence is expected to leave the Government unscathed when it reports this summer, the American inquiry could report ahead of Britain's own call to the polls, expected next year.

Mr Morgan, who splits his working time between Cardiff, Westminster and now the United States, said, "If John Kerry becomes President, Tony Blair is isolated in the world on Iraq. He faces an American intelligence inquiry which John Kerry would almost certainly reconstitute."

With the Conservatives seeking to make the Prime Minister's own judgments a key battleground for the next UK general election, the US inquiry could provide valuable ammunition.

A Democrat-heavy probe would be keen to expose the failings of the Bush administration in the run up to war but the shared intelligence between America and Britain would drag the Prime Minister back into a row he has fought to climb free of.

1. Anyone feel bad for the poodle?

Screw the little lap-dog.

2. THIS is the Kerry governance I have always expected to see.

There has been no other legislator who comes CLOSE to Kerry's record of investigating and exposing government corruption.
