'Blair told Bush: hit Taliban first'

Tony Blair had to persuade George Bush to tackle the Taliban before attacking Iraq in the weeks after September 11, the former British Ambassador to America has said. The United States President had come under pressure to topple Saddam Hussein in the first crisis meeting after September 11. But Sir Christopher Meyer said that when the Prime Minister met Mr Bush in the Oval Office a few days later he urged him to hit al Qaida and Afghanistan's Taliban regime first.

From the very first weeks after 9/11, Bush didn't care who did 9/11, he just wanted to use it as an excuse to attack Iraq.
