The Guardian notes that Blair will be calling an election on May 5 with only a 3 point lead. Normally, I wouldn't root for the Conservatives but I would love to see Bush lose his lap dog. He gritted his teeth and said he understood why the new President of Ukraine was planning to withdraw their troops: campaign promise. Now if we could just convince Dubya to keep his: the one about not interesting in "nation building." He can't get it right, that's for sure. He probably wishes he could poison the guy again. If the Brits pull out,maybe more Americans would see the futility of the whole thing. Bush got to give a medal of honor to a slain soldier's 11-yr-old son. I'm sure he prefers Dad.
