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.

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
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.].

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
He's going to need it.. Is this before or after the trial? Perhaps that will be his community service!

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
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....

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
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...

Re: Bliar to be Mid-East envoy
Could you imagine Bliar as special envoy to Zimbabwe?

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.
