How do you deal with al Qaeda?" former British Prime Minister Tony Blair asked rhetorically during a public hearing in London earlier this month. Mr. Blair quickly answered his own question: "You can't deal with them unless you deal with the bigger picture, which includes Iran. For many in the West, Mr. Blair's words must have seemed odd. After all, we've been told over and over again that Iran's mullahs and al Qaeda come from opposing versions of Islam that are so irreconcilable they cannot cooperate even in the face of common enemies. Mr. Blair knows better.
Politicians don't like to reveal physical problems. In fact, they don't even like to wear overcoats, which might suggest that they get cold like us ordinary mortals. So, it's no wonder that British Prime Minister Tony Blair has made light of recent medical problems. In October, Mr. Blair was in the hospital suffering from an irregular heartbeat, and last week, he was back suffering from severe back pain. Keeping a stiff upper lip, the press office at 10 Downing Street insisted that Mr. Blair's back troubles have not caused him to miss a single engagement. And yet, the strains of public office are showing on Mr. Blair, now in his third term. British voters returned the Labor Party to power on May 5 with a sharply reduced majority of 66 seats in the House of Commons, with both the Conserv...
As [Tony Blair] approached British elections in April 2005, the Times ran an article titled: "With 10 Days to British Vote, War Emerges as Top Issue." As the Times cheerfully reminded its readers: "The prospect of war drew huge street protests here in early 2003, and in the aftermath Mr. Blair was-and is still is-accused by many people of misleading Britons about the legality and the rationale for the invasion." The war had "damaged Mr.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair cautioned the international community against taking Col. Moammar Gadhafi lightly, as a delegation of African leaders arriving in Tripoli said the Libyan dictator had accepted a cease-fire "road map" that they would soon present to the rebel faction. Whatever people say about [Col. Gadhafi] being delusional and so forth, he has kept that grip there for 40 years," Mr. Blair said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union.

On 2 May 1997, I walked into Downing Street as PM for the first time," writes former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in this engaging and far-ranging memoir. "I had never held office, not even as the most junior of junior ministers. It was my first and only job in government. It was a job that Mr. Blair would hold for an eventful decade, personally involved in mediating some of its most notable crises - Kosovo, Lebanon, Northern Ireland. But he'll be best remembered for his role in the war in Iraq, and the special relationship he developed with George Bush in prosecuting that war. In spirit, that relationship was much like that that existed between Roosevelt and Churchill, Reagan and Thatcher. But in the light of real politics, it engendered a degree of ideological hatred that may r...

An independent inspector general will look into the foreign financial ties of Chas W. Freeman Jr., the Obama administration's pick to serve as chairman of the intelligence body that prepares the U.S. intelligence community's most sensitive assessments, according to three congressional aides. The director of national intelligence, Dennis C. Blair, last Thursday named Mr. Freeman, a veteran former diplomat, to the chairmanship of the National Intelligence Council, known inside the government as the NIC. In that job, Mr. Freeman will have access to some of America's most closely guarded secrets and be charged with overseeing the drafting of the consensus view of all 16 intelligence agencies.
