If Bush had half a diplomatic bone in his body he would have least gotten Turkey. They're in NATO. And Germany should have be easy too. Even Japan or Mexico. Bush got almost nobody. We're glad he got the UK but no one else except Kuwait. Who's going to police this huge country now? Iraqis?

Private AJ stuck his teenage tongue out all the way down to the end of his chin. "Yeah, well that stuff's way over my head," he said. According to a New York Times/CBS News survey, 42 per cent of the American public believes that Saddam Hussein is directly responsible for the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. And an ABC news poll says that 55 per cent of Americans believe that Saddam Hussein directly supports al-Qaida. What percentage of America's armed forces believe these fabrications is anybody's guess. It is unlikely that British and American troops fighting in Iraq are aware that their governments supported Saddam Hussein both politically and financially through his worst excesses ... >>> guardian.co.uk
