FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Iraq, Afghanistan, Sept. 11, education, and domestic, economic and foreign policies will all be examined during a two-day conference on the presidency of George W. Bush. A public discussion will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Friday, April 22, in Giffels Auditorium on the University of Arkansas campus. The forum is open to students, faculty and the general public and will be recorded by C-SPAN for future broadcast on the network. Audience members can ask questions after the panel members make opening comments.

The discussion and conference are being sponsored by the Fulbright Institute of International Relations and the Blair Center of Southern Politics and Society in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas.

Participants will produce a book on the Bush presidency after the conference, which will be the second of a series drawn from conferences on the American presidency and sponsored by the Fulbright Institute and Blair Center. The first conference, held in 2002, resulted in the publication of The Clinton Riddle: Perspectives on the Forty-second President (University of Arkansas Press, 2004).

1. Unless that panel of experts is sworn as a Grand Jury, this is irrelevant.

Investigate, Indict or get out of the way.

[Old and In the Way]

2. No doubt that the questions will be screened.

Probably underwritten by the George Dubya Bush Legacy Rehabilitation Project (BLeRP), otherwise know as the Bush Presidential Library.

3. Of course the rewriting of history for BushInc will be in Arkansas. Just like the 90s.

The basic game plan doesn't fluctuate much, even with a few new names thrown in to the mix for distraction.

4. Will Jeb Bush set the agenda, and will it start with a riot by GOP suits?

Will participants be subjected to waterboarding?

Instead of Arkansas, they should hold it at The Hague.

5. An "ex-spert" is someone who used to be a "spert"

Can they show that kind of circle jerk on National TV?

As you can see, my expectations are not high on this one.
