UK envoy's Bush barb made public
Critical private remarks by the British ambassador in Rome about US President George W Bush have been leaked by the Italian media. A leading daily newspaper has quoted Sir Ivor Roberts as calling Mr Bush "al-Qaeda's best recruiting sergeant." Sir Ivor reportedly made the comment at a yearly meeting of British and Italian political and business leaders on Sunday. Remarks at the conference are usually considered off the record. The paper said the comments confirmed members of Tony Blair's government were beginning to have second thoughts about the war in Iraq. Posted by: Sock Puppet of Doom 2004-09-21 |
