Iain Murray links to this story about President Bush exerting pressure on the UK to be nice to Spain over Gibraltar. Iain thinks there's not much too it, but he has a much more favourable view of President Bush than I do, and of US foreign policy. It would seem to me pretty par for the course, though I can't say I'm too bothered -- unlike many bloggers I've never believed that England is only England if it owns useless bits of rock. Still if true it is quite a corrective to those who see British and American interests as identical.
