Blair: It's hard sometimes to be US's strongest ally

In a speech to his last annual Labour conference as leader, Prime Minister Tony Blair said

Tuesday that fighting terrorism would remain a tough challenge for Britain in the years after he leaves office.

 

He said that despite the severe political damage he suffered for his tight relationship with U.S. President George W. Bush - staying close to the United States was crucial. "Yes, it's hard sometimes to be America's strongest ally," he said, adding that close involvement in the European Union could also be difficult. (AP)
