 Clare Short will have to eat her words! Clare Short has been shown up for the political opportunist that she is, as many had predicted on this website last week. Hopefully she will be completely discredited and ridiculed as a result! Clare Short to stay in government Ms Short had said that she would resign if Britain went to war without a UN mandate. Her announcement will be welcomed by British prime minister, Tony Blair, who may be facing another parliamentary rebellion by MPs at Westminster, who are due to vote on war with Iraq later today. Last night Robin Cook, who resigned from the cabinet over Mr Blair's handling of the Iraq crisis, received a standing ovation in the House of Commons, while the Foreign Secretary Jack Straw was jeered by backbench Labour MPs when he said the diplomacy was now at an end. MPs listened in silence to an impressive parliamentary performance as Mr Cook told them he could not support sending British troops to war without broader international support. Mr Blair and senior members of his cabinet have been lobbying MPs in the hope that the final number of dissenters - when the vote is taken late tonight - will be little more than the 121 who rebelled when the issue was voted on a couple of weeks ago. The junior Health Minister, Lord Hunt, also announced his resignation over Iraq this morning. |

Dear Miss Short,
by your announcement today that you will remain part of the Criminal Blair Regeime despite its flagrant contempt of the UN and International Law, you have branded yourself a base liar, a cheap political opportunist and a spineless lickspittle lackey of foreign MonkeyMasters, and History will rember you as such.
Your reputation and career in politics lie now in utter ruins, brought to this dishonour by your treachery to the many who had set some store by you.
Your end shall be beside Blair in the dock before the ICC.
May this day haunt haunt you to shame forever.
Sincerely,
BlackPope
P.S. The fact that some bought-and-sold Wig (a.k.a. the Attorney General) pipes up at the last minute to save Blair's face from the richly deserved bashing it has and will be receiving, is a shabby fig-leaf of such transparency that you effectively only demonstrate your own contempt of the public by pointing their attention to it. A very stupid, cowardly and expensive move on your behalf.
