Blair Quotations | Page 2

Blair can do a little bit more to bring people on board. But they've already watered it down so totally that it almost doesn't reform anything.

Every day you hear of new deaths. Tony Blair has actually made Iraq a worse place for the Iraqi people.

As Tony Blair has made clear, our fundamental challenge is how to make Europe work better.

It would be interesting to know how much Tony Blair will raise those questions in private, although in public he will continue to say that such matters are for commanders on the ground,

These situations are always incredibly difficult for prime ministers and government, but so far there's been no public outcry against Blair for refusing to deal with terrorists,

The suspicion must be that Tony Blair has already decided to advocate an increase in the use of nuclear power - this review will serve little purpose if the prime minister has already made up his mind.

The sort of people who are impressed with warm words over Africa are precisely the same group of people who hate Tony Blair so much because of the war.

Prime Minister Blair has long felt -- he certainly felt after September 11 -- that there was no moral or strategic advantage to be gained by artificial distance from the U.S.

The most obvious image and the way the theme is used is Blair as Bush's poodle,

Definitely we need to improve. (Without Betts) it means the other guys have to step up and do a lot of little things that Blair did quietly.

As all parties examine the proposals that Tony Blair and I issued them, no doubt they will have some points of clarification. Already Mr. Trimble has stated he has some.

This guy's got charisma, the public will forgive him for anything if he can get Blair out of office.

All of us from President Chirac to the president of China expressed sympathy to Tony Blair and Britain. There is a strong consensus on the need to defend our values.

It's a very useful image. Blair is smaller and scurrying along behind Bush, trying to keep in step.

It is scheduled for Prime Minister Blair to visit the country next month. However, we haven't accepted any official agenda for the visit.

It pulls you way out and extends. Jeremy Holliday and Bradley Blair gave us a quicker line-up that stopped them up where they couldn't penetrate or attack the basket well.

For me it was great that I had someone like Blair on set because he's obviously going through what I'm going to encounter.

It's the moment that MPs start worrying about their seats that Blair has to worry.

That is a situation no one wants to see but the closer we come to the weekend and the 12th of July makes it a lot more difficult. That's why Tony Blair needs to be aware the clock is ticking and it is ticking fast and he doesn't have much time left.

It's striking that the lessons of their own self-study after Jayson Blair seemed to evaporate.

The Blair government perhaps ranks as the best the U.K. has had for 50 years. It cannot match the scale of Attlee's reforms, but has a fine record of constitutional reform and economic competence. In my own areas - science and innovation - there have been well-judged and effective changes.

It took all of 15 minutes, but then I have my David Attenborough voice down and there wasn't a lot to do. Most of the time was spent waiting for the guys in Los Angeles to come on line. When they did we breezed through it in four quick takes in a pleasant recording studio, Audio for the Arts on South Blair Street, where they do The Onion. Madison was the original home of The Onion, before it moved to New York, and they still do the radio bits from here.

The voice of Mr. Bush and the voice of Mr. Blair can't decide who shall rule in Zimbabwe, who shall rule in Africa, who shall rule in Asia, who shall rule in Venezuela, who shall rule in Iran, who shall rule in Iraq,

Anyone on the streets knows we were not elected because Tony Blair was popular this time around,

That's an incredible stat for me to look at. That means Larry Blair is now a force inside the arc. He had 34 points inside the arc. That's a tremendous job of him driving.

The jolt that Tony Blair received 35,000ft above the Pacific Ocean was not normal turbulence.

The IOC knows that (British Prime Minister) Tony Blair had written to IOC members to offer to meet them.

I'm sure that problems that arose between America and Germany in the election campaign can be rapidly overcome. Tony Blair can play a role there but I think that Gerhard Schroeder wants the same thing,

If Mr Blair is concerned with securing a lasting and memorable legacy for Britain then I can think of no better way than to allow a smooth and rapid succession for Mr Brown.

In the aftermath of September 11, you can't - as Tony Blair was so fond of suggesting - draw a line under historical events. They don't go away. They come back.

Tony Blair is the best friend I've had in politics.

I am not talking about us introducing our own protectionist measures - that would be disastrous - but I would like to see Mr Blair publicly asking for explanations from his Spanish counterpart about how he justifies protecting local industry.

I don't think Tony Blair wants to go until he has beaten Margaret Thatcher's 11-1/2 years in office and that will take us to 2008.

I condemn the bomb attacks in London this morning. I have sent a message of sympathy and solidarity to Mr. Blair and the London mayor, Ken Livingstone. On behalf of Sinn Fein I offer my sincere condolences to the victims and the families of those killed and injured and to the people of London.

For the first time perhaps since (1979 to 1990 prime minister) Margaret Thatcher we will have at the head of the Conservative Party someone who is genuinely an equal match for Tony Blair -- one of the most skilful politicians of modern times,

For our part, we wonder why the services of Mrs Blair were requested in this particular case.

Tony Blair is already secretly grinning at the prospect of his third victory. You don't have to settle for that.

I'm not a Tony Blair impersonator.

There was only one punch. Tony Blair rang me and he said 'Are you OK?' and I said 'Yes', and he said 'Well, what happened?' and I said 'I was just carrying out your orders. You told us to connect with the electorate, so I did.

As for Gordon Brown - I've described him and Blair as two cheeks of the same arse.

You can't beat about the bush. Blair was a negative factor on the doorstep, time and time and time again.

The truth is we're not even close to meeting the MDGs. Conditions in sub-Saharan Africa are worse now than they were a decade ago. The outcome of the summit hangs in the balance. Tony Blair and G8 leaders promised action for Africa at Gleneagles. They must now deliver.

The French government will not face a Tony Blair moment because the police have enjoyed steadily increasing powers in France for the last few decades. What Blair tried in Britain or Bush did in the U.S. with the Patriot Act were major shifts in the legal landscape.

An agreement under the British presidency would be an important signal, and I am sure that Tony Blair is fully aware of the high expectations people have in him,

Tony Blair will probably get thrown out by his party.

Bush, Sharon, Blair and Rice are names that history will damn.

Blue. My name's Blue Sargent.' 'Blair?' 'Blue.' 'Blaize?' Blue sighed. 'Jane

The jolt that Tony Blair received 35,000ft above the Pacific Ocean was not normal turbulence.

Is it not obvious that Britain, under the regime of Tony Blair, has ceased to respect the Charter of the United Nations?

He has got the slows, Mr. Blair.
