Well its Wednesday, only two more days to go. It's been an interesting week. Keep your eyes open for something new in the next few days.

Anyways what is happening? Well Iraq is in the news. As you all know yesterday shrub addressed the U.N.. How did he do? Well, by most accounts I have heard, not too well.

t r u t h o u t - The New York Times | President Bush's Lead Balloon

Short editorial, give it a read. Here are a few select quotes.

"Mr. Bush delivered an inexplicably defiant campaign speech in which he glossed over the current dire situation in Iraq for an audience acutely aware of the true state of affairs, and scolded them for refusing to endorse the American invasion in the first place."
.....
"Mr. Bush has never exhibited much respect for the United Nations at the best of times. But the United States now desperately needs the partnership of other nations on Iraq."

And to sum up:

"Mr. Bush might have done better at wooing broader international support if he had spent less time on self-justification and scolding and more on praising the importance of international cooperation and a strengthened United Nations. Instead, his tone-deaf speechwriters achieved a perverse kind of alchemy, transforming a golden opportunity into a lead balloon."

How about in the UK, our staunchest ally?

Bush fails to impress British press

Here's a good one:

"The Financial Times said Bush – in a speech full of 'upbeat but generic nostrums about democracy, peace and human dignity' – had 'systematically refused to engage with what actually has happened in Iraq'."

Ok I am going to try some quotes and see what they look like now. Ok here goes really.

"This is what you asked for, and this is what you get. Yeah yeah this is what you asked for and this is what you get."

Here is more regular text to see if you can tell and difference. Any difference at all.
