    Blair awarded 'Medal of Freedom' by Bush

    BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Blair awarded top medal by Bush

    Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has received the United States' highest civil award - the Medal of Freedom....

    Making the award, Mr Bush described Mr Blair as his "staunch friend" and thanked him for his public support for "freedom and liberty" in the immediate aftermath of the 11 September, 2001 attacks.

    "I knew that when either of us gets in a bind, there will be a friend on the other end of the phone," he said.

    The Medal of Freedom...

    Now that's an honour...
    Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.

    He'll no longer be Head of State. It mightn't be advisable for him to visit certain European countries. American Pinochet.

    Is Blair still in the running for the new Presidency that the Lisbon treaty wants to set up for us?
