"But he has refused for more than a year now and for good reason. He cannot possibly accept an award for the Iraq war when British and American troops continue to risk their lives there."

Pretty good reason. Also, this seems to have been going on for a while, so it's unlikely the poodle will return to his masters lap.

Yeah, if he pick up the medal earlier, the mission wasn't accomplished yet. And now, it could be viewed as a political move for Bush. Perhaps after the election.

Or even better, after the war is over.

Tony Blair, with all the mistakes he made vis a vis Iraq--is a smart man. He is deep enough trouble as it is and can you imagine what Fleet Street would say if he came to America to pick up a sham medal.
