When it is decisiveness it is patronising! Any which way Bush bashers would just like to hate his actions! How Patronising is Bush? By Greg Stohr Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. President George W. Bush said he will nominate federal appeals court Judge John G. Roberts Jr. to replace the late William H. Rehnquist as chief justice. Roberts, 50, was in line to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, with Senate confirmation hearings scheduled to begin tomorrow. Bush now will pick a newnominee for that slot. Rehnquist died two days ago. ``The Senate is well along in the process of finding Judge Roberts qualified,'' Bush said in a statement from the White House in Washington. `They know his record and his fidelity to the law.'' Is Bush talking about the Senate, the august legislative body of the premier nation of the world, or is he talking about a bunch of schoolkids. The Republicans are growing far too overconfident and are suckling at the teats of power rather than be chastised by its awesome potential.

Saudi Arabia said on Thursday that five Al-Qaeda suspects on a most-wanted list were killed in a three-day battle with security forces in the eastern city of Dammam, the latest in a series of offensives against the militants. Four security men also died in the operation which began with a shootout Sunday in a commercial thoroughfare in the main city of the oil-rich Eastern Province and ended Tuesday with the storming of a militants hideout in another neighborhood.
