Gotta love Tony

Tony Blair made a surprise visit to Iraq and gave a press conference with Iyad Allawi. Read the whole thing. Here is a teaser from his initial statement:

I've just visited members of the electoral commission and met some of their staff, and I said to them that I thought that they were the heroes of the new Iraq that's being created because here are people who are risking their lives every day in order to make sure that the people of Iraq get a chance to decide their own destiny democratically. And I'd just like to say this very strongly to the outside world, whatever people's feelings or beliefs about the removal of Saddam Hussein and the wisdom of that, there surely is only one side to be on in what is now very clearly a battle between democracy and terror.

It is also interesting to read the questions that are the press asked him and to look at how those questions were phrased. I challenge anyone to read them and claim that there is not an anti-war bias there.
