Blair refuses to discuss Leadership

Tony Blair has refused to discuss who will succeed him as Prime Minister while visiting the Middle East for peace talks.

Mr Blair said it would be "disrespectful" to talk about the leadership issue while in Israel.

I beleive for once Blair is right its not right that journalist should jump on the bandwagon and abuse this meeting with Israel. They should keep their questions in context to the situation in the Middle East. The time for home internal issues is at Home.

Blair is just trying to duck the question. He's had a terrible week. He'll probably lose the leadership very soon and he's trying to deflect attention from that.

Blair isn't about to loose the leadership, he's allready said he will step down at the end of this term.
