It’s hard not to speculate about what might have happened had the attempted assassination of Gordon Brown by “Taliban fanatics” on his recent stop-over in Afghanistan not been narrowly averted. It would surely have dealt a huge psychological blow to the NATO campaign, but would it have changed anything?

Not “winning”… I believe the official mantra is that “we’re making good progress” or some such piffle.

Oh no…Would that have meant Blair coming out of retirement ?

If anything had happened to Brown they would just have said it was the fault of the “previous government”, then continued with his legacy.
