Bush Told: "We're F*cked"

A very intriguing article by former British Ambassador "Sir"Christopher Meyers, casting light on the US-UK diplomacy around the time of the Downing Street Memos:

Just before Blair arrived at Camp David, I received a phone call from one of the most experienced and prominent foreign policy practitioners of the Clinton administration.

The familiar voice warned me that Cheney, Bush's sometimes intimidating vice-president, would be present throughout Blair's discussions with the president. "How the hell do you know?" I asked. "Don't ask, don't tell," was the enigmatic reply. "But Blair had better watch out."

The voice was right. Cheney attended all the meetings, including those where Blair and Bush were alone with their closest aides...

Meyere quotes a US official reporting back from Iraq to the Bush White House: "We're fucked."

But the article smacks of a rat. Meyers may have jumped ship early, but he was certainly on board when Bush and Blair set sail.
