Poodles yesterday, poodles today, poodles forever
...Any US decision to attack Iran would force Gordon Brown to choose between creating a serious rift in the transatlantic alliance and participating in or endorsing American actions. British officials insist that Washington has given no sign it is ready to abandon diplomacy...

"No sign it is ready to abandon diplomacy", eh? Considering that the B*sh junta wouldn't know what diplomacy was if it fucked them in the ass, all this statement can be read is that Gordon Brown intends to be the same sort of grovelling brown-noser that Tony "W" Bliar was. There's going to be no "choice" here; if Maximum Leader Genius decides to commit the USA to another round of Hitler-calibre atrocities, the neo-liberal government of the UK will follow obediently along like a well-trained lapdog (but this time they won't be alone; now that Canada and France have got neoconservative governments, they'll be tagging along as well, begging for a chance to commit some atrocities of their own just to prove they're part of the gang.)
