Sleeping
with the president is not a good idea. Bush had no answers to big
questions, such as 'what happens on the morning after.' The Daily
Telegraph reports that documents show Prime Minister Tony Blair signed
up to the U.S. policy of regime change in March 2002, a year before
the conflict started... after he was warned that postwar stability
would be difficult and the U.S. had few answers. Oh, no problem. This
week,
Bush said he is 'pleased with the progress' in Iraq.' Grok Description matches for Oracle president: Merger good for all (SiliconValley.com)
