Was it just me or did the whole tone of the press conference change, after the first 3 questions. The joviality disappeared . President Bush became extremely forceful and passionate, when talking about Arafat and the tension meter went way up, when talking about Iraq. PM Blair was equally as passionate when talking about Iraq. Wonder what their intel is showing.

I am absolutely convinced that the CIA briefing showed more than Blair expected. He was very forceful and not wishy-washy.

I imagine the "agreement on problem but continuing discussion on how to proceed" is for the Europeans. I would guess Blair will be taking some info back to the Continent that they do not want to hear.
