Mick Jagger has insisted that a song on the new Rolling Stones album called Sweet Neo Con is not about US President George Bush. The rocker admitted the song is critical of some of the Bush administration's policies, but pointed out that it does not mention the President directly.

THE government was drawn into a diplomatic row with the United States and Italy last night, after a senior British ambassador described President George Bush as "the best recruiting sergeant for al-Qaeda".

His remarks were designed to be off-the-record but they proved so explosive that Italy's leading newspaper, Corriere della Sera, decided to breach the rule and publish them.
