You may be onto something as to something being awry...maybe their talks have so far been non-productive.

Or maybe they've shared some disturbing intelligence.

Now the larger issue of the MidEast events this week, and next week's possibilities....actually I feel better since Israel has taken strong measures, and the bombings have stopped for a few days.

It's over! Quick!

Or maybe they've shared some disturbing intelligence.

I am glad that I do not know what they surely must know and live with daily. I do know that Saddam is a genuine monster.

Blair was supposed to get a CIA briefing today. That may account for his nervousness.

I notice that President Bush, ever the gracious host, wore a coat and tie so as not to make Blair look like a dweeb. Those little things do mean a lot when entertaining, and kindnesses go a long way towards cementing friendships.
