David Cameron\u2019s actions over Libya have been condemned by a former Tory chairman as doing an Iraq\u201d while his decisions on both Syria and Libya left the White House feeling f****ed over\u201d, according to revelations made in a new book.<\/p>\n

Former Tory chairman Michael Ancram made the comparison between Mr Cameron\u2019s actions in Libya and Tony Blair\u2019s in Iraq, in a new unofficial biography of the Prime Minister entitled \u2018Call Me Dave\u2019 and written by former Tory donor Lord Ashcroft. The book is being serialised in the Daily Mail, where the claims have been published.<\/p>\n

Mr Ancram tells the authors – Lord Ashcroft and journalist Isabel Oakeshott – that Mr Cameron\u2019s decisions over Libya have left the country ungovernable\u2026 with vast amounts of weapons from Gaddafi\u2019s arsenal moved south of the border, arming Boko Haram.\u201d<\/p>\n

A senior American government insider allegedly said the White House felt f****ed over\u201d by Mr Cameron on both Libya and Syria, while General Sir David Richards allegedly told the Prime Minister that being in the Combined Cadet Force at Eton did not make him qualified enough to make decisions over complex military operations and the tactics employed in them.<\/p>\n

One White House insider is quoted as saying: “It was one of those astonishing displays of incompetence that sort of leaves you wondering about how, you know, have we all got this far?”<\/p>\n

David Cameron’s biggest controversies<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0The revelation of Mr Cameron\u2019s apparently poor handling of Syria and Libya follows Lord Ashcroft\u2019s extraordinary allegations that the Prime Minister reportedly inserted a private part of his anatomy\u201d into the mouth of a dead pig and that he smoked cannabis while studying at Oxford University.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Prime Minister’s spokeswoman said: I\u2019m not intending to dignify this book by offering any comment or any PM reaction to it,” while privately the Prime Minister is understood to have told friends the claims are utter nonsense\u201d. The author has set out his reasons for writing it,\u201d the spokeswoman added.<\/p>\n

In an unauthorised biography of the Prime Minister entitled \u2018Call Me Dave\u2019 and serialised in the Daily Mail it is alleged that an anonymous MP knew of a photograph of the incident with the pig\u2019s head, which is claimed to have taken place during a notoriousPiers Gaveston Society <\/a>event although the anonymous MP adds that it could have been a case of mistaken identity and that he had not seen any evidence himself.<\/p>\n
