If this proves to be true, then we unequivocally
have a mad man loose in
the White House who shouldn't be left alone to his

That or stack it on the list of evidence,
"circumstantial" or otherwise,

Exclusive: Bush Plot To Bomb His Arab Ally
Madness of war memo
By 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.
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."
A Government official suggested that the Bush
threat had been
"humorous, not serious".
But another source declared: "Bush was deadly
serious, as was Blair.
That much is absolutely clear from the language
used by both men."
Yesterday former Labour Defence Minister Peter
Kilfoyle challenged
Downing Street to publish the five-page transcript
of the two
leaders' conversation. He said: "It's frightening
to think that such
a powerful man as Bush can propose such cavalier
actions.
"I hope the Prime Minister insists this memo be
published. It gives
an insight into the mindset of those who were the
architects of war."
Bush disclosed his plan to target al-Jazeera, a
civilian station with
a huge Mid-East following, at a White House
face-to-face with Mr
Blair on April 16 last year.
At the time, the US was launching an all-out
assault on insurgents in
the Iraqi town of Fallujah.
Al-Jazeera infuriated Washington and London by
reporting from behind
rebel lines and broadcasting pictures of dead
soldiers, private
contractors and Iraqi victims.
The station, watched by millions, has also been
used by bin Laden and
al-Qaeda to broadcast atrocities and to threaten
the West.
Al-Jazeera's HQ is in the business district of
Qatar's capital, Doha.
Its single-storey buildings would have made an easy
target for
bombers. As it is sited away from residential
areas, and more than 10
miles from the US's desert base in Qatar, there
would have been no
danger of "collateral damage".
Dozens of al-Jazeera staff at the HQ are not, as
many believe,
Islamic fanatics. Instead, most are respected and
highly trained
technicians and journalists.
To have wiped them out would have been equivalent
to bombing the BBC
in London and the most spectacular foreign policy
disaster since the
Iraq War itself.
The No 10 memo now raises fresh doubts over US
claims that previous
attacks against al-Jazeera staff were military
errors.
In 2001 the station's Kabul office was knocked out
by two "smart"
bombs. In 2003, al-Jazeera reporter Tareq Ayyoub
was killed in a US
missile strike on the station's Baghdad centre.
The memo, which also included details of troop
deployments, turned up
in May last year at the Northampton constituency
office of then
Labour MP Tony Clarke.
