The tide is turning. A new poll from the Pew Research Center indicates that the Bush Administration is losing support for a war against Iraq, with only 29% favoring war if U.N. inspectors fail to find weapons of mass destruction.

Blair is certain that he can get the British public to support war, however, even if Britain goes to war without U.N. support.
