Sir Ivor Roberts noted in 2004 that George W Bush was "al-Qa'ida's best recruiting sergeant".
Valedictory Telegram
In 2007, he gave a valedictory telegram which was "curtly dismissive"[1] of the "war on terror". The response from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office was to ignore the substance of his telegram but ban the century-old practice of valedictory telegrams from British envoys.
