Bliar to be Mid-East envoy

Quote:

President Bush has spoken to UK PM Tony Blair about his becoming a Mid-East envoy, a White House official says.

No, it really is Mid East, not Middle East.

Quote:

The president would reportedly like him to be an envoy for the quartet of the US, European Union, UN and Russia.

Great idea - particularly in Gaza, Basra, Sadr City, Fallujah, Helmand Province, Tehran, Mecca, Beirut, Tyre... - they're going to welcome him with open fire [shurely 'arms' - Ed.].

He's going to need it.. Is this before or after the trial? Perhaps that will be his community service!

I always suspected that he was going to stand down in enough time to become the United Nations Secretary-General - guess I was wrong.
..though in 5 years time maybe....

I would have thought Africa would be a lot better place for him than the Middle east. I guess N.Ireland and the fact he is the only one Bush seems to listain to are in his favor for the Israel issue.

Nah...

You've got to have a silly name to be UN Secretary General... ;)

Funny, I'd have said that opening fire rather than opening negotiations was Blair's style as well. Maybe that's the new plan for the Middle East.
