Washington apparently finally okayed the timing for Blair to make his own secret trip to Iraq.
Doesn't he feel embarrassed at being such an obvious lapdog? Stay. Go. Fetch. Sit. Here's a bone.

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. -- James Madison, 4th President of the United States
