Tony Blair Was Depressed, Cured by the Joys of Cashing In…….
“Tony Blair descended into such a deep depression after the Iraq war that he told Gordon Brown and John Prescott he would quit No 10 the following summer – only to renege on the pledge within months, a new book by the Observer's Andrew Rawnsley reveals. The former prime minister's physical and mental decline was so profound that he confided to friends that he "spaced out" several times during Prime Minister's Questions and often woke up in the middle of the night with sweat trickling down the back of his neck. Rawnsley's explosive account is in The End of the Party, which is published on Monday , extracts from which appear in tomorrow's Observer. It lays bare, for the first time, how Blair was haunted and tormented by the deepening chaos and bloodshed in Iraq at the same time as being worn down by the constant psychological warfare being waged by Brown, his next-door neighbour in Downing Street, who was increasingly desperate to take his job………”
I bet he is not depressed anymore. He is doing quite well from the war, tyvm. Arab Oligarchs and petroleum plutocrats from the Persian Gulf to the Caucasus are showing their gratitude for the Iraq invasion that caused Tony so much distress. But the distress is gone now, he has discovered the joys of laughing all the way to the bank.
Tony has been hinting that he might welcome a new war in the Gulf, but he probably won’t be able of cashing in on that one.
