	Tony Blair News - The New York Times
		Tony Blair swept into office in 1997 in a burst of youthful exuberance, and in his early years as prime minister it seemed that he could reshape his country and its politics on the strength of his inexhaustible energy, unflagging smile and seemingly limitless charm alone.
		Blair's decision to support President Bush in the 2003 invasion led to a steady erosion of support at home and ultimately to the pressure within his party that forced him to leave office earlier than he had hoped.
		Blair agreed to become a special envoy representing the "Quartet" &mdash the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia &mdash in seeking to bolster the economy and institutions of the Palestinian Authority.

	CNN.com - Blair's Africa plea to Bush - Jun 6, 2005
		For Blair, the price of supporting Bush on Iraq has been a heavy one: Britain's biggest ever street demonstrations, a loss of public trust and a shredding of his parliamentary majority from 161 to 67 in last month's elections.
		Blair's lawmakers say that what irks them the most is that for the White House, it never seems to be payback time.
		Blair's mission will in essence be the diplomatic equivalent of, "Buddy can you spare a dime?" And it's a question addressed, most British politicians reckon, to a man who owes him rather more than that.

	Hoover Institution - Hoover Digest - The Nine Lives of Tony Blair
		Blair’s deep unpopularity flows in the main from his unwavering support for President Bush’s Iraq policy, especially his strong and unflinching commitment of British troops to the war, followed by his insistence that Britain would stay the course in Iraq despite the damaging post-war insurgency.
		Blair has taken the unusual step in British politics of announcing his plans to retire, insisting that he will complete his current (third) term but not lead his party into a fourth election.
		Many observers believe that Blair took this approach in his third term to keep party discipline and to refocus Labour’s efforts on accomplishing a record on which the party can successfully run for a fourth term under a new leader.

	Blair said to yield to US on speech - World - smh.com.au
		The British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, caved in to White House pressure by sharpening language on Iran and softening it on global warming in a speech he delivered at Georgetown University in Washington, a London newspaper reported.
		Mr Blair is particularly faulted for his alliance with Mr Bush in the Iraq war and critics say he is too eager to please Mr Bush in a lopsided relationship that has benefited Mr Bush far more than Britain.
		Mr Blair eventually used more subtle phrasing: "I emphasise I am not saying we should impose change" - which was allegedly altered to reflect the White House's desire to keep the military option "on the table" to exert maximum negotiating pressure.

		Some commentators, mindful that one of Tony Blair's closest confidante's is a practising paedophile, are even suggesting that this particular scandal, and not Blair's repeated lies and fabricated reports in regard to Iraq, may well prove the downfall of a government mired in sleaze and corruption.

		Blair writes in his book that many Times reporters creep into a locality just long enough to claim a dateline for stories that they've reported mostly by phone or for which they've mostly used stringers (the "dateline toe-touch").
		When Blair's story was published, Knott was astonished to read the colorful quotations attributed to the less-than-talkative students he had witnessed Blair interviewing.

		Blair, like Glass, Cooke, Smith, and Forman, got away with making things up for as long as he did because journalism is built on trust.
