Guardian Unlimited Politics | Comment | Bush and Blair - the betrayal:(by way of TAPPED)
"Bush originally came to Blair determined to go to war in Iraq, but without a strategy. Blair instructed him that the casus belli was Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, urged him to make the case before the UN, and - when the effort to obtain a UN resolution failed - convinced him to revive the Middle East peace process, which the president had abandoned. The road map for peace was the principal concession Blair wrested from him. " He doesn't seem to show it (or at least not yet); but Blair has to be really second guessing getting into to bed with Bush II.
