MIDDLE EAST - Views On American Policy From the UK

"Bush is crap, says Prescott (Deputy PM)" by Colin Brown, The Independent UK

John Prescott has given vent to his private feelings about the Bush presidency, summing up George Bush's administration in a single word: crap.

The Deputy Prime Minister's condemnation of President Bush and his approach to the Middle East could cause a diplomatic row but it will please Labour MPs who are furious about Tony Blair's backing of the United States over the bombing of Lebanon.

The remark is said to have been made at a private meeting in Mr Prescott's Whitehall office on Tuesday with Muslim MPs and other Labour MPs with constituencies representing large Muslim communities.

And that's just the opening of the article. Of course, the self-righteous Bush Administration doesn't even hear any discord with their policy.
