So much it makes me think that somehow all this may be going on with Bush approval. Well he certainly can't be ignorant of it. A former president of the U.S. and the British PM don't get to meet for lunch without sounding a s***load of alarms for the CIA, Interpol, FBI, Secret Service, etc.
Bush knowing and Bush approving are two different things.
I highly doubt he gave his blessing for Clinton to undermine him.
