| 説明 | Dick Cheney, the Vice-President, "looked very sour" throughout talks at Camp David because he favoured immediate action. "Let the post-PM spin begin on shaping the Blair legacy. Alastair Campbell's new book is obviously kind to the man he helped position in the British media though there are a few interesting tidbits in there. While I'm not buying the "Bush really isn't as much of a thicko as everyone thinks" spin (haven't we heard that before?) I do find the prewar discussion interesting. The Campbell book sheds light on a dispute at the highest levels of the Bush administration over whether it should back Britain's call for another UN resolution. Six months before the invasion, Karen Hughes, President George Bush's communications adviser, said "not too convincingly" that the US President was always going to go down the UN route, Mr Campbell writes. But Dick Cheney, the Vice-President, "looked very sour" throughout talks at Camp David because he favoured immediate action. "After dinner, when TB and Bush walked alone to the chopper, Bush was open with him that Cheney was in a different position," says Mr Campbell. President Bush joked to Mr Campbell: "I suppose you can tell the story of how Tony flew in and pulled the crazed unilateralist back from the brink." Mr Campbell insists the President is "far more impressive close up" and believes he "comes over better than people might expect" in his book.The good-cop-bad-cop method is time tested and considering Cheney's reputation, it could easily be pulled off. So was Bush playing this game or does it just provide more support to the talk about who really runs the White House? Either way is still sounds like basic spin to help Blair justify his own theory on how he softened the position of the Bush team. Looking over the past six years, he was never successful in showing any progress with softening the radical agenda of Bush-Cheney, right up until the very last G8 meeting when Bush rejected serious discussions on climate change. In the end, Blair was just a gullible fool.by Chris in Paris · 7/09/2007 05:52:00 AM ET |
