PRE-EMPTIVE DIPLOMACY

the art of smooth diplomacy...

  President George W Bush made clear his growing exasperation with wavering

Saddam Hussein."
----------

----------
who knows...im sure he doesnt know. just sounds a good phrase so he keeps
using it over and over. bit like rob eva's  limited replay options
----------
yes very odd.
guaranteed to get france and germany on side. 
----------
this can only confirm their original assessment of his stupidity
have you noticed he can only speak in one-sentence paragraphs followed by
the pause, the faint lift of the hand & a look around sideways
----------
the hand wave is a tai chi movement designed to re-activate the neural
pathway to the mouth which has been severely taxed by the previous sentence
----------
excellent diagnosis
----------
it will be a war too far soon.
dubya for idiot of the century.

my favourite journalist:

  "As we approach war with Iraq, it's becoming obvious that George W. Bush
is really a modern Winston Churchill," gushed Greg Sheridan, foreign editor
of The Australian last Thursday
----------
dubya is on abc tv now...
----------

----------

----------
