Blair jumps the gun on Iraqi veto

PM out of step with Washington on troops

Michael White, Ewen MacAskill and Richard Norton-Taylor
Wednesday May 26, 2004
The Guardian

Tony Blair jumped the gun yesterday when he unequivocally promised that the new government in Baghdad will be able to exercise a veto over controversial US-led military operations after the handover of sovereignty on June 30.
The prime minister's remarks at his monthly Downing Street press conference appeared to go further than the White House, Pentagon or Foreign Office.

Hmmm rather interesting.I wonder if * just wants to kick his lapdog.
