I wonder if Blair appreciates what a faithful devotee his has in Teribus, the poodle's poodle?

According to Teribus, Blair it was who urged the honourable course of going back to the UN. (No pressure from other European leaders of course or from his own diplomats; entirely his own idea.) When it became clear that the UN would show a bit more backbone than Blair had done in dealing with Bush, Blair very honourably said "Fuck the UN. Who needs it anyway."

As someone said yesterday, if Blair believed as sincerely as he has been claiming that UN authority was not necessary, why would he even have considered urging that route?
