quote form the bbc website :

A 2008 cable written by US deputy chief of mission Richard LeBaron describes a meeting with William Hague, then a Conservative frontbencher and now foreign secretary.

When asked at the meeting whether the relationship was “still special”, Mr Hague is said to have replied: “We want a pro-American regime. We need it. The world needs it.”

Christ while he was there why didnt get down and give the guy a blowy ?

for fucks sake it so simple to say something like :

“we still find that in most situations, our viewpoints seem to settle on similar outlooks and perspectives”

but oh no he had to say :

“We want a pro-American regime. We need it. The world needs it.”

wtf ? … really youre not doing that kind of gobble gobble grovel flattery in my name. he may as well have finished with the flourish “Hell Yeah, wooo , Yeeeehaaa”

Hague you have seriously died in my estimation.
