Bush Gives His Dog a Bone

Reprieve for Blair as he wins delay on UN vote

Embattled Tony Blair was tossed a grudging morsel of support by President Bush yesterday, winning a delay for a UN vote on war with Iraq.

Facing huge domestic opposition to military action, Mr Blair begged Mr Bush in a 20-minute phone call for more time to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

A vote on a second UN resolution could now be delayed to next week or even as late as March 24.

A White House official said: "Mr Blair has been a good friend to us. We're returning the favour because of his domestic circumstances. But there's no more wiggle room."

As it stands, the resolution - backed by the US, Britain and Spain - sets a Monday deadline for Saddam Hussein to disarm. Mr Bush originally wanted a vote by the end of this week.

Yesterday Mr Blair asked Mr Bush to give a UK compromise deal, demanding Saddam meet six tests, the chance to succeed.

The White House, aware that the chances of a second resolution look slimmer than ever before, agreed.

But it also confirmed that it might not even bother with a second vote and wage war under the authority of previous UN resolutions.

Do you feel like you're living in some Orwellian nightmare? Or perhaps you feel as if you're plugged into The Matrix? Well if so, you've come to the right place. No matter how messed up you thought the world was, by the time you've finished reading some of the things I've found on my travels in Cyberspace you'll realise that 1984 was just a typo!

A note to the non-ravers out there: codshit is NOT a derogatory or insulting term and bears no relation in offensiveness to its four-letter cousin, it's a word used to describe the nonsense that people sometimes talk when they are off their heads. To understand what codshit is watch the film Human Traffic.

Let there be no doubt that the people of the free world are engaged in a war... In the next few years, we are either going to see the people of the free world rise up against these fascists, now setting the stage for global war, or we are going to see the end of democracy as we know it with martial law the end result.
