Tony Blair AND George W. Bush - 2023 Chicago Open

Question

Two answers required. An alleged informal greeting between these two politicians titles a book by Geoffrey Wheatcroft that attacks one of them. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name these two politicians, one of whom some journalists called the other’s “poodle.” A secret meeting of these two politicians was revealed in the Manning memo.

ANSWER: Tony Blair AND George W. Bush [accept Anthony Charles Lynton Blair in place of “Tony Blair”; accept George Walker Bush in place of “George W. Bush”] (The greeting is “Yo, Blair, what are you doing?”)

[10m] Exact phrasing required. The Blair administration was one of the most supportive governments in the group of countries known by this four-word phrase that supported the Iraq War. The unequal contributions of members of this group led Robert Byrd to remark that the US was being used as a “cash cow.”

ANSWER: coalition of the willing

[10e] Despite their close relationship, Blair sidestepped Bush by discussing an emissions trading agreement with this Austrian-born governor of California.
