WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush and outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair insisted at a farewell summit on Thursday they have no regrets about their wartime alliance in Iraq despite damage to their standing at home and abroad.
Shoulder to shoulder at the White House for the last time before Blair steps down on June 27, the two leaders heaped praise on each other and defended themselves against critics of a war that is increasingly unpopular in both countries.
