Neil Cavuto: Alright, you're listening to British Prime Minister Tony Blair. In a few months he'll be out of work. But reaction now from General Wesley Clark, the former NATO Supreme Allied Commander and Fox News military analyst. General, thank you for indulging us there.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Thank you Neil.

Nail Cavuto: What do you, what do you make of that, General that "We still need the United States. We still need a, a vocal, supportive role in Iraq. We still need the United States and Britain together providing it," what do you make of it?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Well, Prime Minster Blair's been under intense criticism at home for being too closely aligned with the United States, but he's also been under criticism for being too closely aligned with Europe. And he's trying to, in this speech, assert the imperatives of British foreign policy, namely that they're a small, relatively small country, and they've got to be aligned with other countries. I'm very pleased to hear him say he wants to maintain alliances with the United States and with Europe. I think it's, on balance, it, it's a very balanced speech, very effective.
