Tony Blair Considered For Middle East Envoy Job
ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos and Martha Raddatz Report:
President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have spoken with outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair about becoming a special envoy to the Middle East, in a role similar to, but more substantial than the position formally held by James Wolfensohn, the former president of the World Bank.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said late Tuesday that he has also discussed such a role with Blair adding that he thinks it’s a good idea.
Senior government officials described Blair as eager to accept the post but the final details still need to be worked out and consultations are continuing with the Palestinians and European Nations.

Haven’t these two done enough yet to make things worse than they were in the Middle East? I think they have a secret bet on who can make the worst mess in the world. So far, they are running even in my book.

It is wearisome attempting to count the time we have invested looking up money making business ideas pages.
