Would love to have overheard this conversation

Tony Blair and Hillary Clinton met today to talk about the Middle East – and they go way back, though they had plenty of public differences over the Iraq war. Blair must have been somewhat relieved a few weeks ago, when the White House ceremony in which George W. Bush gave him the presidential medal of freedom (for Blair’s support of the Iraq war) was overshadowed by a more interesting event down the road: Clinton’s confirmation hearing.

Don’t miss FP‘s Epiphanies with Blair, where he reveals what he really wanted to be when he grew up.
