Independent: "George Bush considered provoking a war with Saddam Hussein's regime by flying a United States spyplane over Iraq bearing UN colours, enticing the Iraqis to take a shot at it, according to a leaked memo of a meeting between the US President and Tony Blair."
Guardian: "Tony Blair told President George Bush that he was 'solidly' behind US plans to invade Iraq before he sought advice about the invasion's legality and despite the absence of a second UN resolution, according to a new account of the build-up to the war published today.
A memo of a two-hour meeting between the two leaders at the White House on January 31 2003 - nearly two months before the invasion - reveals that Mr Bush made it clear the US intended to invade whether or not there was a second UN resolution and even if UN inspectors found no evidence of a banned Iraqi weapons programme."

Polizeros: Rep. Charles Rangel was asked what he thought about the president.
'Well,' he said, 'I really think he really shatters the myth of white supremacy once and for all'.
Salon: "Rejecting criticism and mouthing meaningless bromides, Bush gave a speech so stagnant it would have made the Politburo proud."
VillageVoice: "Dr. Justin A. Frank, psychoanalyst and author of Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President, watched this week's State of the Union address from a somewhat unusual perspective.
'We need to encourage the news media... and anyone else who can confront the president, to challenge his delusions.'
My first impression was, from the very beginning, he does the same thing he's always done.
He's very good at distracting you from what he's really doing and what he really wants, like a con artist. He said he's going to cut 140 programs, in the middle of this sort of lovey-dovey speech.
It's about having a disturbed relationship to reality.
I think he doesn't know he's a liar. That vagueness is very typical of people who don't tell the truth. It's called confabulation, and it's very typical of alcoholics.
Thus the only thing left is to act in whatever way can be effective to block his destructive behavior, by urging the press to stand up, by writing to Congress, by educating our friends."
KnightRidder: "One day after President Bush vowed to reduce America's dependence on Middle East oil by cutting imports from there 75 percent by 2025, his energy secretary and national economic adviser said Wednesday that the president didn't mean it literally."

While the self-proclaimed mullahs (everyone seems to be a religious scribe today) stumble over each other to protest cartoons, the American fundamentalists are eager to follow suit. Les extrêmes se touchent - extremes meet.
AmericaBlog: "The Joint Chiefs of Staff just sent a menacing letter to the Washington Post over a cartoon."
Not only Cindy Sheehan was removed from Congress for wearing a t-shirt with a war protest on it, but also the wife of a powerful Republican congressman was asked to leave for wearing a pro-troops t-shirt.
You see, al-Qaeda and Bush are a symbiosis though a very destructive one. They need each other to push their own fundamentalist beliefs (one religious, the other neocon).
