Par les temps qui courent, m\u00eame les plaisanteries ont tout leur poids politique avec Tony Blair, lorsqu’il est question de sa position de Premier ministre. Cela conduit un quotidien comme The Guardian<\/a> \u00e0 voir dans une r\u00e9ponse mi-s\u00e9rieuse mi-ironique de Bush sur la position de Tony Blair \u00e0 Londres le principal \u00e9v\u00e9nement de la rencontre Bush-Blair de Washington. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00ab Tony Blair might be viewed increasingly at home as a leader with a fast-approaching sell-by date but he is seen differently in Washington, with George Bush urging him last night to stay in power as long as I’m president.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb The comments came during a joint press conference at the White House during which the two leaders alternated between grave statements on Iraq and some light-hearted mutual ribbing. Midway through the press conference a member of the British press delegation asked Mr Blair if it was possibly your last official visit to Washington as prime minister, also quizzing Mr Bush about what in particular he would miss about his close ally. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tHmm I’ll miss those red ties, is what I’ll miss, Mr Bush began before adding, more seriously: I know a man of resolve and vision and courage. And my attitude is, I want him to be here so long as I’m the president.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe Times de Londres<\/a> fait moins d’\u00e9cho \u00e0 la r\u00e9ponse de GW mais la mentionne n\u00e9anmoins avec un commentaire tr\u00e8s londonien qui indique bien o\u00f9, aujourd’hui, Tony Blair peut se sentir chez lui : \u00ab Mr Blair, in words that will not be welcomed by Gordon Brown, said he would like to see Mr Blair remain in office until he leaves the White House in January 2009.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tPlus que jamais appara\u00eet la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 de l’observation que publiait hier le m\u00eame Times<\/a> dans son commentaire sur l’affaire de la m\u00e9daille du Congr\u00e8s<\/a>: \u00ab In the US he is still seen as a clear-eyed braveheart who swiftly recognised 9\/11 as an historical turning point that had profoundly affected the American psyche, and then better than anyone, including Mr Bush articulated the case for war. In Britain, however, he is more often regarded these days as a naive and vainglorious fool, the poodle who loyally followed the President and has, consequently, tainted his own premiership with alleged falsehoods and failure.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 26 mai 2006 \u00e0 13H22<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Par les temps qui courent, m\u00eame les plaisanteries ont tout leur poids politique avec Tony Blair, lorsqu’il est question de sa position de Premier ministre.
