How does GG know ?

I am in no way surprised, but it was the first time that I heard it, when GG said this weekend that it was Blair and not Clinton who really pushed for the military action against the Serbs. I wonder how he knows that ?

Many thanks for the article IrishMafia, very interesting reading & an interesting Site. There is no mention at all of Blair in this to collaborate GG point about Blair being instrumental in persuading Clinton to attack the Serbs. I repeat that I’m not saying GG is wrong, but I would like to know how he knows this, unless of course it’s just an opinion GG formed from observation of Blair at the time.

Incidentally did anybody else spot the slip on Sunday when a caller asked if Marie Curie was English, and GG said yes ! Just proves our hero is not infallible after all !

Tony Blair has forged an outline agreement with key Nato partners to 'impose a solution' on President Milosevic by sending ground troops into Kosovo.

Mr Blair will fly to Washington tonight in a determined effort to persuade President Clinton that a ground assault can be launched sooner rather than later.

GG remembers all this stuff. And plenty more besides I'd wager ..

Thanks very much for those great links Brown Sauce, especially the brooking link, all those books to consult for free ! I used to think that my googling skills were good but obviously not as good as yours!

Well they certainly confirm GG’s point about Blair being the moving force for military action against the Serbs. They also give weight to another GG contention, that Blair is a self-righteous & self-deluding insane crackpot. This psycho, who was so welcomed into office after the long hard years of Tory rule, seems to have been from the start the Anti-Christ in human form. Not so much as the Yankee’s poodle, but rather the bloodthirsty crazed fanatic egging on the sometimes reluctant Superpower, to commit international crimes under the pretext of “humanitarian interventions”. Having got away with the illegal attack on Serbia, he got embolden to instigate further bloodbaths, crimes leading one to another, culminating to the holocaust happening now in Iraq.
