Yes, that was my first thought too.
 All the news coverage from the days leading up to the
supposed threats was about what an idiot
blair was ...and that he was merely tangoing to 
Gwb's tunes. 

But, some people will never believe
it....I got a stream of text messages from a couple of 
accquaintances of mine who are die-hard
pro-war-on-anything-middle-eastern telling me
"i told you so...."
