The British government had sent Meyer to Washington in 1997 with instructions to "get up the arse of the White House and stay there".
Now Sir Christopher's wife, Lady Catherine Meyer, said that Blair and US President Bush "are both very religious and I believe that they both feel that what they are doing - especially Blair - is what God wants them to do and that God has chosen their way. This is why they bonded immediately."
She adds: "Blair started talking about getting rid of Saddam Hussein way before September 11 ... in 1998. So I think that on Iraq he was more ready than Bush, who only really came into this conversation after 9/11."
Lady Meyer goes on to accuse Blair's government of "astounding hypocrisy". She had opportunity to observe both leaders at close quarters during the time her husband was Britain's ambassador to the U.S., Britain being the U.S. main - and often only - ally.
