It sounds like a bad joke, but like the one about Kissinger and the Nobel Peace Prize, it turns out to be true. Blair ("carry on bombing, Ehud") is going to be international Middle East peace envoy. Confirmation, if any were needed, that the last thing the NeoConnnards want is peace in the Middle East. I'm betting that Blair ("Let's invade Iraq, George") will have a whopping big golden handshake written into his contract for the job. Even he, Walter Mitty incarnate, cannot believe that he will last a full year in the job. Get in, grab the money, get out; the Eurotrash circuit beckons. Then the Bushwacker can appoint Alan Dershowitz to the post.
Let's hope that Putin puts the block on this insult to be added to Middle East's injuries.
