Bush Plot To Bomb His Arab Ally
Kevin Maguire And Andy Lines

11/22/05 “The Mirror” — – PRESIDENT Bush planned to bomb Arab TV station al-Jazeera in friendly Qatar, a “Top Secret” No 10 memo reveals.

But he was talked out of it at a White House summit by Tony Blair, who said it would provoke a worldwide backlash.

A source said: “There’s no doubt what Bush wanted, and no doubt Blair didn’t want him to do it.” Al-Jazeera is accused by the US of fuelling the Iraqi insurgency.

Of course, he DID bomb Al-Jazeera, killing reporter Tareq Ayyoub in 2003.

Like I said, I liked Bush better when he just seemed stupid. Crazy? Thats a bit more unsettling.

    “Evil clown”- that’s the best description I’ve heard thus far.
