Bush Wanted to Bomb AlJazeera
Bush planned to bomb Arab TV station al-Jazeera , 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.
The attack would have led to a massacre of innocents on the territory of a key ally, enraged the Middle East and almost certainly have sparked bloody retaliation.
A source said last night: "The memo is explosive and hugely damaging to Bush.
"He made clear he wanted to bomb al-Jazeera in Qatar and elsewhere.
Blair replied that would cause a big problem.
"There’s no doubt what Bush wanted to do - and no doubt Blair didn’t want him to do it."
Washington Denied The Story :
The White House characterized as "outlandish" Tuesday a British newspaper report that President Bush once discussed with Prime Minister Tony Blair bombing the headquarters of Arabic-language television network Al-Jazeera
