Over the years I have done research on the connection between the US and UK and arms sales - as well as the Carlysle Group.
I believe Tony is making money brokering international arms sales these days. After he helped push for war one of the top five corporations in our military industrial complex transferred ownership to the UK. At the time it was clear to me that it was a reward for Tony's cooperation. There was also a transaction with BAE soon after - I would have to look it up because I forget the details.
Here is a description of a new part time job of his: LONDON, England (CNN) -- Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who left office last June, has taken up a part-time job with a Wall Street bank on an estimated $1 million salary.
JP Morgan Chase did not say how much Blair will make in the part-time position.
Blair will work with JP Morgan Chase, a firm with assets of $1.5 trillion and operations in more than 50 countries. He will advise the bank on global political and strategic issues, a company statement said. http://edition.cnn.com/2008/BUSINESS/01/10/us.blair/
No one is asking Tony about arms sales and his personal profit from them - or how rushing into war launched his career as an international arms broker.
I would have to go digging but I could give you plenty of evidence that proves my position if you would be inclined to read it. Tony is not our poodle - we have always been complicit.
