Speaking on BBC2's
Newsnight
programme, he said that the first phase of the war was against Afghanistan when asked about Iraq involvment.
"What I am not going to be prepared to do is to say that if there is evidence that emerges in respect of other terrorist operations elsewhere in the world we are not going to take action," he said.
"But I am not going to engage in speculation about that. What I say is that is something to consider, debate and discuss with our coalition partners".
On the Middle East peace process, Mr Blair repeated that "nothing could ever justify" the terror attacks on the US and said they had been condemned by the Palestinian authorities.
"But I do think we need to understand the real sense there is here in the Arab world and different parts of the world about the injustice of the conditions in which the Palestinians live.
"We need to use this not as an excuse to let the peace process wither but on the contrary as an opportunity to reinvigorate it," he said.
