American Neo-Cons Back Blair

Views from across the pond

The Hawkish American Spectator is backing Blair, labelling him "a true friend to America". The Jewish-run neo-conservative magazine goes further, lambasting Howard and the Conservatives' "Kerryesque habit of obfuscation on their foreign policy views".

Fox News' John Gibson writes on the Murdoch owned news channel's web-site:

"The very same team that was helping to get John Kerry elected, muttering the whole time that Bush lied to get the country into a war.

That's right. The whole bunch of them: Bob Shrum, Stan Greenberg et al. The Democrats' A-Team.

So here they were in the U.S. saying Bush lied, but now there they are in Britain saying Tony didn't lie.

What happens when you fly across the Atlantic four hours? Does the world turn upside down?"

CNN's man in London, England says a Blair win is inevitable:

"No new opinion polls were published in Wednesday's British newspapers, but the tone of the coverage suggested clearly that the election outcome was a foregone conclusion."

The New York Times details prominent American spin doctors now advising the New Labour.

John O'Sullivan, writing in the right-wing National Review predicts surprises and says that immigration has filled the Tory policy vacuum.
