You wouldn't be saying that same thing if Bush had the "nads" to stand up and support Jacque Chirac in every decision he made.
Imagine the U.S. president did whatever he was told by the German president - would you respect him? Of course you wouldn't.
Being Bush's bitch is only respected by people who are also Bush's bitches.

So if he's not "loyal" to Bush what would be the negative consequences for him? What does he gain by being "loyal" to Bush? Obviously nothing politically. His support for Bush and the war has hurt him politically. I could be wrong but I think he either thinks the war itself was the right thing to do or he thinks sticking with the US is the best thing for the UK. Either way it seems to me he thinks he's doing the right thing for his country even though he knew it would hurt him politically. He seems like a strong leader to me and I respect him.
