 CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Monday pledged to keep British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan until those countries are stabilized.
"If the going is tough, we tough it out," Blair told a rare joint session of Australia's Parliament.
Blair told lawmakers that the "immediate threat is from Islamist extremism," which he said was "not a passing spasm of anger but a global ideology at war with us and our way of life."
