Bourges-Maunoury rushed over to the Hotel Matignon, say the Brombergers, bringing to Premier Guy Mollet "on a silver platter the long-awaited occasion for intervention in Egypt." One interesting statement by the Brombergers that might salve some British consciences: until just before the Anglo-French ultimatum in Egypt, only Eden and Queen Elizabeth were privy to the plot. On Oct. 16, at the famous Paris meeting of Eden and Mollet, "Operation Mousquetaire" was decided on, but not until the French had reluctantly agreed to accept Eden's "embarrassing judicial fiction that the intervention was aimed...
