It was ‘politically impossible’ to draw back from Iraq War
The newly published government files argued that withdrawing from the Iraq War unless the dictator Saddam Hussein surrendered was ‘politically impossible’.
British Ambassador warned that President George W Bush was bent as a part of a “mission de in the overthrow of Hussein to get rid of the“ bad man ”world.
In January 2003 – two months before the US and the UK forces launched – Tony Blair will fly to Camp David to call for more time for diplomacy to work.
However, the files published in the national archives in Kew in Western London, British Ambassador Sir Christopher Meyer, warned that withdrawal from the war unless Hussein surrendered has become “politically impossible ..
The British authorities still hoped that the United Nations Security Council would accept a new decision, especially the use of military force against Iraq.
Blair’s foreign policy adviser Sir David Manning said that when he met the President, he should say that a new decision should be “politically necessary for England and almost legally necessary”.
However, the Americans became more impatient and more impatient to the reluctance of France and Russia, unless they found any evidence of Hussein’s mass destruction weapons for the war.
Following the address of Mr. Bush’s Union Annual State to the Congress, he warned that a peaceful solution options ended shortly before Mr. Blair’s visit.
“Bush is not politically impossible for Saddam to surrender or disappear from the scene from going to the war in Iraq.
“If Bush had previously had a place for maneuver, it was closed with his unity speech.
“In this high corrugated prose, where Bush was drawn in this set, he said that destroying Saddam was a Crusade against the evil to be undertaken by the people chosen by God.”
In a cable sent the previous month, Sir Christopher said that most of the urge of deposit of Hüseyin came from the president, a Christian who underestimated what Europeans see as “self -serving” reservations.
Sir Christopher, “The world of Manichean. He sees that he saved his mission from bad men. He believes that American values should be universal values,” he wrote.
“Collectively, he has a strong allergy to Europeans. Anyone sitting around the low church and a dining table with the southern people will find these feelings instantly.”
The United States and Britain have abandoned their efforts to make an agreement on a new Security Council decision, claiming that French President Jacques Chirac will never accept.
