Blair Takes Mideast JobPosted on Jun 27, 2007
According to the Irish prime minister, Tony Blair has agreed to serve the quartet—the U.S., the U.N., the EU and Russia—as a special envoy to the Mideast. Earlier reports suggested that Blair bristled at the limited scope of the position, but an aide says the outgoing British prime minister was eager to take the job and continue to work on the world stage.

By Nesreen, June 27, 2007 at 2:46 pm # This is how Blair was met when he visited Lebanon after the cease fire (he tried to stop)
By nesreen, June 27, 2007 at 9:17 am # He is so wrong for the Middle east Envoy ! he is No peace loving individual but a warmonger who has not hesistated to invade a country , based on a pack of lies, and he has not shown any remorse or said sorry. Honestly i would rather see him in a court of law , not a Middle East envoy . Blair was among the 3 war mongers who refused a cease fire in Lebanon , when the rest of the world wanted a cease fire . He is a vile warmonger not a peace maker .
By Hank Van den Berg, June 27, 2007 at 8:42 am # A former prime minister of the United Kingdom will never be seen as an impartial promoter of peace in a region where his country has for centuries operated as an imperialist power. King Richard of England, began the aggression 1,000 years ago as one of the leaders in the Crusades that killed large numbers of Palestinians. British decisions also played a fundamental role in setting up the Zionist conquest of Palestine and the injustice carried out against Palestinians. Just 50 years ago, Britain directly occupied Egypt and reconquered the Suez Canal, a move for which it was punished by international opinion. And then, of course, there is the minor issue of Blair’s dishonest role in enabling the U.S. to proceed with its illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq. Who can forget Blair’s lies about evidence of WMS in Iraq?

By Fadel Abdallah, June 27, 2007 at 7:52 am # A Message to Evil Tony Blair: You’re not welcomed to the Middle East in general and you’re not welcomed to Palestine in particular! I believe I represent millions of people who think you’re a criminal with too much blood on your hands. You and the goverment and country you represent are part of the problem, not the solution.
By kevin99999, June 27, 2007 at 7:18 am # This man has no personal credibility. Being a U.S. poodle, Palestinians should not place much faith or credibility in this man who should be treated as a war criminal rather than parading around as Mid-East envoy. Add Your Comment |
