I would have used stronger language about the lapdog.  In fact, I regard
that term almost as a compliment.

I obviously have no idea of the state of Bliar's mind through all this -
but it's become very obvious indeed during the Lebanon political fiasco
that Bliar is starting to shake.  I suspect he is positioning himself to
publicly recognise Shrub as a madman and claim he was deceived bigtime.
