You Can’t Make Me

BushCo takes a stand. And as you might expect, it’s a stupid one:
The US has rejected any prospect of a deal on climate change at the G8 summit in Germany next month, according to a leaked document.
Despite Tony Blair’s declaration on Thursday that Washington would sign up to “at least the beginnings” of action to cut carbon emissions, a note attached to a draft document circulated by Germany says the US is “fundamentally opposed” to the proposals.
The note, written in red ink, says the deal “runs counter to our overall position and crosses multiple ‘red lines’ in terms of what we simply cannot agree to”. …
The tone is blunt, with whole pages of the draft crossed out and even the mildest statements about confirming previous agreements rejected. “The proposals within the sections titled ‘Fighting Climate Change’ and ‘Carbon Markets’ are fundamentally incompatible with the President’s approach to climate change,” says another red-ink comment.
This is embarrassing for Mr Blair, who said on Thursday with some confidence that the US was moderating its position on climate change as the summit approached.
Perhaps this will help St. Tony understand that he has always been irrelevant to the Commander Guy. At best he was a convenience.
Tony is pathetically gullible, repeatedly letting
himself be played by a guy with half his IQ.
He’s at 71% disapproval in the last Times of London poll. Buh-bye, Tony. Make sure 10 Downing is broom clean before Gordon Brown moves in.
