Blair win would endorse war: PM
THE re-election of British Prime Minister Tony Blair would be seen as an endorsement of the military action in Iraq, Prime Minister John Howard said today. Following his own re-election and that of US President George W. Bush, a win by Mr Blair at a British election in coming months would demonstrate widespread support for the three nations' joint Iraq campaign. "Certainly it would," Mr Howard told ABC Radio National. "I'm conflicted when it comes to the British election (but) I really wish Tony Blair well because he's been extremely courageous. "I think of the three of us he had the most difficult internal task in relation to Iraq because his party was deeply divided and a large section of his party was openly hostile to his decision."
