A few days ago Tony Blair had possibly reached his zenith. basking in 17 standing ovations before congress. How quickly things change. Today the BBC reports on the scandal surrounding the suicide of the WMD report whistle blower:
“Governments have fallen and prime ministerial careers have collapsed over less.”
Even members of Blair’s own party are calling for his resignation. The most likely outcome is that Blair’s spin doctor and/or defence secretary will resign, but if the UK governement falls because of a scandal surrounding false evidence over weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, then Bush may have a problem.
