"A brilliant example of "libralism" at its worst."
Not even Blair's best friends would grace him with the description "liberal".
The Iraq adventure was Bush's effort to secure its oil supply; Blair reciprocated by ramming Britain's head as far up the US anus as it would go - not the action of "a liberal".
Over a million British people took to the streets to protest the invasion - Blair ignored them - not the action of "a liberal".
To some people, anybody faintly to the left of Attila the Hun (or Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer) is a liberal.
Aren't some people funny?
