Blair admits resignation mistake
In a frank (and quite frankly unexpected) admission yesterday, British Prime Minister Tony Blair described his 2004 public decision to resign before the next election as a "mistake".
"Yes, of course it's a mistake for me to resign before the end of my third time," he told an ABC radio interviewer during his 'Blair Down Under' tour of Oz.
"In reality, I should have resigned ages ago... like, when it became obvious that we never had a reason to invade Iraq in the first place."
Mr Blair was in Australia to promote his latest album, I Did It George's Way, recorded with his old band, Tony and the Tough-Going New Tories. He was accompanied by his wife and backing vocalist, Cherie (above right), who delighted Oz audiences with renditions of such timeless Aussie classics as The Wild Colonial Prime Minister, (Iraq's) Our Territory, and, of course, Waltzing Moqtadr.

And Blair has a rather monkey-like look on his face... minn min taħseb li ddakkar?
