Farewell Britannia: Blair Apologizes To Troops For "Dangers They Face" On Final Day

Prime Minister Tony Blair, his decade in power drawing to a close, said Wednesday he is sorry for the peril faced by British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he made no apologies for supporting the United States in taking military action there.

Blair faced the House of Commons for a last time before going to Buckingham Palace to resign as prime minister, clearing the way for Treasury chief Gordon Brown to take command of the government.
