Over at the Daily Mirror, Kevin Maguire criticises Blair's timing, overshadowing the Labour leadership election by publishing his book on the same day as voting begins. The International Monetary Fund has highlighted the danger of seeking a "quick fix" to the nation's finances, says James Moore in the Independent, yet that is exactly what George Osborne is doing. Meanwhile, in the Guardian, Simon Tisdall argues that if Obama's Iraq handover strategy is anything to go by, any optimism about Afghanistan is deeply misguided. Finally, a Times editorial maintains that the US is right to insist that urgency is the proper response to the Israeli-Palestinian deadlock.
