Tony Blair as envoy to the Middle East. God have pity on us all. Tony Blair whose hands drip with the blood of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, Tony Blair who co-sponsored Israel’s savagely murderous attack on Lebanon. Tony Blair who tried to cover up one crooked arms deal after another to the Saudis. Tony Blair who’ll do anything for the American Empire. Tony Blair Bush’s obedient little bitch poodle. Tony Blair Britain’s worst premier since Neville Chamberlain.
Tony Blair is going to be the quartet’s envoy? It’s bad enough that the Middle East is swimming in rivers of blood without actually creating lakes of the stuff. Tony Blair would cheerfully re-crucify Christ if he thought it would please his masters in Washington he’s already helped them do it to the people of Irak.

“The idea of Mr Blair doing this job is understood to have originated with the prime minister himself in conversation with George Bush, who then suggested it to the UN. The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, is said to be a keen supporter and Washington was reported last night to have mounted “an enormous push” to ensure Mr Blair got the post.
Diplomats said there was some disquiet over the way US talks with Mr Blair were well advanced before any details were shared with the other quartet partners.”
Something stinks here…of course.
