Accused Spy Myers Trashed US Policy in 2006 Media Interview
This is the same Kendall Myers who was arrested today, along with his moonbat wife, and charged with spying for Cuba.Britain's special relationship 'just a myth' A senior American official has spoken of "the myth of the special relationship" between the United States and Britain, arguing that Tony Blair got "nothing, no payback" for supporting President George W Bush in Iraq. Kendall Myers, a leading State Department adviser, suggested that Mr Blair should have been ditched by Labour but the party had lacked the "courage or audacity" to remove him. David Cameron, the Conservative leader, was "shrewd, astute" to have distanced himself from America. In candid comments that will embarrass Mr Bush and Mr Blair, the veteran official said America "ignored" Britain, and he urged Britain to decouple itself from the US. He asserted that the "special relationship", a term coined by Sir Winston Churchill in 1946, gave Britain little or nothing. "It has been, from the very beginning, very one-sided. There never really has been a special relationship, or at least not one we've noticed." The result of the Iraq war would be that any future British premier would be much less cosy with Washington than Mr Blair had been, and the Prime Minister's much vaunted view that Britain was "a transatlantic bridge" was now redundant. Mr Myers said Donald Rumsfeld's comment before the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 that America could go it alone without Britain had been a clarifying moment. I think the arrest of this media saboteur and Castro errand-boy IS a WoT operation, btw, and it is certainly a lurid crime tale. Posted by: Atomic Conspiracy 2009-06-05 |
