The Blair Facts

Saddam Hussein was executed at 6am UK time today. President Bush has issued a statement on the hanging but from his co-toppler Tony Blair there has been nary a word. This from the man who felt the need to comment on the death of Frank Sinatra even though he had never met him and confessed that he was not a fan.

Still there's always time for some words. After all it took 1 hr 45 mins for Tony Blair to comment publicly on death of John Peel; 2 hrs to comment publicly on death of Jill Dando; 3 hrs 20 mins, to comment publicly on death of Diana, Princess of Wales; 7 hrs to comment publicly on death of Frank Sinatra; 12 hrs to comment publicly on death of George Harrison and an incredible four days to comment publicly on deaths of tens of thousands of tsunami victims.
