Bush And Blair Under Fire Again
Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Bush and Blair Under Fire Again" is about other, it was written by John Onan.
Two world leaders who are considered as strong as any allies, George Bush and Tony Blair are watching both of their administrations come under fire due to the company they keep.Bush's Vice President, Dick Cheney, has got himself involved in a scandal in which a CIA opeartive was "outed" in what appeared to be an attempt to smear her husband.
This has led to an indictment of Cheney's top assistant, Lewis "Scooter" Libby.On the other side of the Atlantic, Blair has come under excessive heat for bakcing his own scandal-prone friend, British cabinet minister David Blunkett.Blunkett was forced to resign (again) for the second time in less than a year. The first was over an affair that was exposed between him and a marreid American magazine publisher.Now it appears Blunkett took the lucrative positions hoping to recoup of the money he had spent on an pricy court battle to establish that he fathered the woman's 2-year old son.Both leaders have been damaged politically in the past week, but that could just be the beginning.
It is being reported that Bush's own top guy Karl Rove barely escaped the indictment gauntlet and may not out of the woods when the next grand jury meets.
As long as Rove is still working at the White House, questions won't go away aobut his involvement in "Wilson-gate."For Blair, he has declared that he will not fight a second election after winning his third term that past May. Pundits consider him virtually powerless now, which is a drastic statement, considering how loved he seemed to be not so long ago.Opponents of these two gentlemen have harshly criticized their roles in the "war on terrorism", especially in Iraq, when Blair was the only major leader to back the U.S. after the French, German, and Russian governments were opposed to ousting Saddam Hussein.Now that it's been nearly three years, and no sgins of Hussein's WMD's, Bush's and Blair's political enemies and the media (some say there's not much difference between the two) are primed and ready to put these two guys out to pasture.John Onan invites you to join the discussion on news, entertainment, sports, and life issues in general at: http://forum.Post-it-here.Co.Uk/index.Php
