Blair Shrugs Off Resignation Questions
Edited on Sun Sep-26-04 08:45 AM by dArKeR
BRIGHTON, England - Dogged by opposition to the Iraq (news - web sites) war, Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) tried to focus attention on domestic issues as the governing Labour Party's annual convention opened Sunday and insisted he hadn't considered resigning earlier this year.

"I'm not the wobbling sort," Blair, a staunch U.S. ally in the war, said when asked about persistent rumors that he was on the verge of quitting. "I'm restless to do more and to do better. I think we have done a good job for the country ... but there's more to do."

Hey, Blair and Bush, John Wayne Gacy was NOT a "wobbling sort" either! You and aWol should be arrested and not allowed in the public!

1. Anyone think that using the term
"Going Wobbly" is just a way of ignoring public opinion?

3. Despite waning support, Blair strikes defiant tone
British Prime Minister Tony Blair struck a defiant tone as his Labour Party prepared to open its annual conference yesterday, despite a pair of fresh opinion polls suggesting that support among voters is waning.

With a general election likely in May or June next year, Blair told the Observer that Labour -- in power for the past seven years -- would "not buckle" in the face of dissent.

"It happens with all governments. There is disillusion and disappointment. That's politics," he said. "What you've got to do in those circumstances is not buckle under it, but go out and make your case."

5. Yeah Tony....
"I'm restless to do more and to do better. I think we have done a good job for the country ... but there's more to do."

What country is that? The Republic of Carlyle? The United Provinces of Haliburton? The BFEE Kingdom?

Restless to do more? You mean kill more people? Ignore more public opinion? I'm not sure how you can "do better" on these fronts...seems to me you have excelled.

shoo fly shoo
