Blair to Speak to U.S. Committee on Iraq

[NVMojo]

LONDON (AP) -

British Prime Minister Tony Blair will speak in the coming days with a high-level U.S. commission trying to devise a new course for the war in Iraq, Blair's office said Saturday.

A spokeswoman said Blair would speak Tuesday by video-link to the Iraq Study Group, led by former U.S. Secretary of State James A. Baker III and former Democratic Rep. Lee Hamilton of Indiana.

The Guardian newspaper reported Saturday that Blair would urge the Bush administration to open talks with Iraq's neighbors Syria and Iran and push for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a way of defusing Mideast tensions.

The spokeswoman said she could not speculate on what Blair might say.

Blair has been Bush's closest ally in Iraq, and has sent more troops there than any nation besides the United States - a position that has cost him support at home. Rising violence in Iraq, and a British death toll that has topped 120, have heightened calls for a change of strategy.
