It’s rather dumb to send the guy who helps start the fight to end it.
June 25th, 2007 at 2:01 pmI can see it now — bumper stickers on all the cars in Palestine and Israel:
“Tony Blair — the wonderful guy who brought you the Iraq War”
I am sure that he will be greeted with flowers and candy.
June 25th, 2007 at 2:06 pmBlair needs to remove Chimpy’s hand from his arse…
Stupid puppet.

Chimpy’s just looking for the wristwatch he really didn’t lose in Albania.

June 25th, 2007 at 2:21 pmI suppose it would have been too much to expect Bush to appoint a “peace envoy” who isn’t actually a war criminal.
June 25th, 2007 at 2:32 pmGordon can always “leak” some damning comments said by poor Tony in private that’ll deep-six TB’s credibility.

Oh, but this is just so deliciously “Orwellian”, is it not?
June 25th, 2007 at 2:39 pmThe poodle only knows how to start war, not end it.
June 25th, 2007 at 2:41 pmThe last time the English delved into the Palestine issue it was a disaster. Just what are the Palestinian people in for now, another 60 years of the same?
His influence is bound to failure before he even starts.
Indeed. Unfortunately, Orwell was right.
June 25th, 2007 at 2:41 pm“the move is causing deep unease in some quarters…”
Righto, JJ!!! And the quarters involved would most likely be Blair’s HINDquarters…
June 25th, 2007 at 2:42 pmI would like to nominate Rosie O’donell as our “peace envoy” to the Christian Coalition.
What do you think?
June 25th, 2007 at 3:31 pmIt’s “The Blair Switch Project.”
June 25th, 2007 at 3:38 pmWhat, Hitler isn’t available?
June 25th, 2007 at 4:26 pmBlair is Bush’s lap poodle dog and is not fit for any position.
June 25th, 2007 at 4:26 pmI think Rosie would be better for envoy to Focus on the Family, or perhaps Ru Paul as envoy to westboro baptist church

Great comment, War4Sale!
War should be banned. There should be an international police force for stopping war. That police force should have arrested Bush, Blair, and Howard.
