The Special Relationship, BBC 2 9.30pm Tonight

The New York Times: The Special Relationship was shown in the US a few months ago, here the liberal NYT review of the programme. Tony Blair is not that popular with the liberal New York Times, thus his faults are seen with staring with his push for ground troops in Kosovo, thus his close relationship with another hated figure by the extreme liberal NYT, have a guess?, yes Bush 43. Mr Blair will have to accept that the media elite in both the US and the UK will never forgive him for Iraq, Bush 43 in a odd way gets away with it, Bush is Bush, never hid the fact that he was not a liberal. The right will always defend Bush 43, when it’s a choice of Obama or Bush 43 this blog will always argue for Bush 43, flawed but so was LBJ, didn’t make them not good Presidents. While Tony Blair does not have the left, and the right thought he spent to much on the public sector, thus the present economic problems in the UK. Thus Iraq was a Blair choice, he was given a get out clause by Bush 43, he didn’t take it, thus the former PM will have to live with the consequences.
