His keynote address to the American people, watched live by millions around the world, saw the president at his cringe-making worst.

In the glare of the TV cameras, he grimaced, sighed, rambled and even chuckled under his breath, before saying he could not think of a mistake he had made since the September 11 attacks.

4. British are 'too soft' in confronting dissent??? Yeah, we just want to

kill all the brown-skinned people so they know real democracy.

quote from the article:

The denial came after former senior Pentagon official Michael Rubin said British officials had little interest in pursuing the White House vision of a democratic Iraq. And he claimed they were 'too soft' in confronting dissent.
