Bush eyes Blair for Mideast peace role

WASHINGTON - President Bush has talked with British Prime Minister Tony Blair about taking a role as a Middle East peace envoy after he leaves office next week. Assistant Secretary of State David Welch, the State Department's top diplomat for the Middle East, talked with Blair in London on Wednesday, while the White House and State Department spoke glowingly about the prime minister's credentials but said there was nothing to announce yet.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert also expressed support for Blair playing a role in the Middle East.

"Officials in the prime minister's office are aware of this idea and Prime Minister Olmert is very supportive of Prime Minister Blair and of his continuing involvement in the Middle East and the peace process," Israeli government spokeswoman Miri Eisin said.

Blair steps down next Wednesday.

"Obviously Prime Minister Blair has been very active and deeply involved in Middle East peace issues throughout his prime ministership," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said

Mans gonna be lookin' for a job.......knows the position pretty well:D

Have a good one!:s4:

Noone makes the UK look like a little bitch better than the Blair-meister. Hopefully once he steps down we'll have our own voice again.

Lets see, take the Bush butt boy, the same one that helped orchestrate the invasion of a soveriegn Muslim country, and make him the "peace" envoy to the middle east, HaHaHaHaHoHoHoHoHeHeHeHe. Totally insane. When I read some of this shit, I feel like I must be on a bad acid trip.

Blair is a PRICK and left office before his ass was kicked outta it and Gordon Brown will go, along with the labour party next election.Blair ruined the labour party it used to be all about the people but then came along Blair and new labour trying to be hip, I smoked a spliff at collage he said never smoked a spliff in his life he was bullied at collage becuase of his big f&%$*ng ears what a pillok he may as well go to the middle east becuase he sure aint wanted in the uk! WANKER. .DAVE.

I tend to stay away from that area just because I do grow........keep things low key and on the hush lets say. Ya just never know who's looking in. With Zandor gone I may have to look in a bit more than before but with people like Stinky around.......I think it's pretty well covered right now. I tip my hat to the lady!!

By the way, sounds like you got a pretty tight grip on the parties over there.....you should start a thread and tell us more about them. I'd be VERY interested in how the system works, etc........

Have a good one!:s4:

Blair can't even maintain peace in the UK. I'll be anticipating a long stretch for his war crimes in the middle east when he steps down.

What war crimes? Sorry but I'm at a bit of a loss on this issue.

So is Mr Blair. Most of the rest of the democratic populus seem to think that he has blood on his hands though, I think it's to do with the thousands of innocent civilians he collaborated with Bush in slaughtering recently. You might call that collatoral damage, I call it a crime against humanity.

What I can't understand about Gordon Brown just stepping into Blairs shoes is, there are loads of good MP's still in the labour party who hold true to its original socialist values. Why didn't any of them make a challenge to the leadership?

"Intent" is always a key factor in a crime. I dont think that either man had intent to kill civilians in the war in Iraq or Afghanistan. Civilian deaths are a part of war but if the truth were known........I believe that the suicide bombers had a hell of alot more to do with that than either of the leaders mentioned.

You can hardly spray a country with bombs without intending to kill innocent civilians who have nothing to do with terrorism. Everyone knew this would happen, and whatsmore when the civilian casualties started to mount, they carried on bombing. It simply doesn't wash to say that they have impunity here, thousands of people died, way more than in 911. It is still a war crime.
