Not for the war protesters and haters however, as they will be dancing in the streets, kissing and hugging the nearest Muslims and trees along with each others upon hearing this news this morning.
Tony Blair Stepping Down as PM in the coming months will be leaving President Bush and America pretty much on our own now in Iraq, so you can bet that this war, whether we or Iraqis like it or not will probably be winding down one way or another sooner than later. But doubtfully on the terms of the loony left congress but more likely the President who will sadly be feeling all alone more than ever after this announcement ..
Tony Blair and John Howard of Australia along with Poland and only a few select others have been Bush's and America's only friends as of late and he will indeed be sorely missed by Brits and Americans as well. This feeling will prevail as they say goodbye to a very principled leader who didn't stick his finger in the wind to see which way popularity polls were blowing that day, unlike most all the unprincipled leaders around the world and especially here in the US like to do by the minute.
So in light of these developments this American says Thank You to Tony Blair for all he's done during his leadership in standing by our country and president through many tough times when other countries and their worthless and spineless leaders stabbed us in the back long ago..
Blair announces retirement
The Guardian Tony Blair today announced he will stand down on June 27 after 10 years as prime minister and 13 as Labour leader.
He will stay on as PM and acting Labour leader until a successor is elected by Labour MPs, trade unions and party members in around seven weeks' time.
The PM had first confirmed to cabinet he would announce his plans to step down as Labour leader and prime minister earlier today, joking it was "not quite a normal day".
Mr Blair arrived in his Sedgefield constituency just after 11.20am, where he was ecstatically greeted by several dozen supporters at Trimdon Labour club.Earlier this morning, at a cabinet meeting that lasted just 15 minutes, the chancellor, Gordon Brown, intervened to praise the "unique leadership" of his colleague - and rival.
The meeting ended with the entire cabinet "thumping" the table in appreciation, according to Mr Blair's official spokesman.
He added: "Just as cabinet was breaking up, the chancellor intervened. He acknowledged Mr Blair could rule him out of order, but said he didn't think it would be right to finish cabinet without thanking and appreciating the premier for his unique achievements in the last 10 years."
Mr Blair's official spokesman said the premier did not disclose a date for his departure from Downing Street after a decade in power. read more
