Well, that should about do it, luv! Splendid!

British Prime Minister Tony Blair starts coming down from his really bad trip, maaaan, that he got from that bad acid he got from George Bush, man.

Unfortunately for what's left of American foreign pol . . . . Wait! There's NOTHING left of American foreign policy!

Well, what the hell, then! Tony Blair started to get straight in an interview with David Frost, acknowledging the Iraq war was a "disaster."

ON AL JAZEERA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHA!!!!!!!

That's RICH!

Let's pick up the story from the Daily Mail in London:

In his frankest admission about the war to date, Mr Blair admitted that Western forces have been powerless to stop the descent into violence.
The Prime Minister stopped short of accepting the blame for plunging Iraq to the brink of civil war -- blaming instead the insurgent uprising that has killed 125 British troops. But his admission in an interview with the Arab new channel Al Jazeera will be seen as an historic climbdown for Mr Blair, who has always fought to put a positive gloss on often disastrous events.

Challenged by veteran interviewer Sir David Frost that the Western invasion of Iraq has "so far been pretty much of a disaster", Mr Blair said: "It has." His words were last night seen as an olive branch to other states in the Middle East and his critics at home.

But critics will be angered that Mr Blair still refused to take the blame for the failed planning for the aftermath of the war, which has seen rival Sunni and Shia Muslim militias take control of the streets.

The Prime Minister went on: "You see what I say to people is why is it difficult in Iraq? It's not difficult because of some accident in planning, it's difficult because there's a deliberate strategy - al Qaeda with Sunni insurgents on one hand, Iranian-backed elements with Shia militias on the other -- to create a situation in which the will of the majority for peace is displaced by the will of the minority for war."
