Bush to offer Blair a special envoy position to the Middle East. Is this a good idea?


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.......I'm not sure if this is such a good idea. Blair is a personable and intelligent fellow, but his popularity has spiraled downward due to his allegiance with Bush. Who would be better? How about Rosie? She's being considered for everything else.....
