| What makes this more interesting is that it is from a Chinese site, written by the assistant president of the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations - whatever that is. |

| #4 I think history will treat him well on the foreign policy front. Mistakes were made but the grand sweep went in the right direction and Al Queda was unmanned. Certain things were miffed (Israeli issues) but nobody has gotten them right and the work in Africa was huge despite the fact that nobody but Africans and a couple of Paddy Pop stars noticed. |

| #3 Depends on who you ask, ain't it? I guess some people around here noticed that my own opinion---unworthy as it may be---on the subject of George II and his girl Friday (or, as I sometimes think Miz Dr Professor Rice and her sock puppet) are, somewhat, less enthusiastic. |

| #2 Today over 100,000 American military members remain in Iraq and there is no sign the war will end any time soon. When there are fewer casualties in Iraq than murders in Chicago, I think we can say either the war is over in Iraq or the war is out of control in Chicago [or both]. |

| #1 And.... remember this? Talk about testing in the infancy of the presidency.... Bush Turns up the Heat to Secure Release of Spy Crew Tuesday, 10 April 2001 President George Bush has renewed US warnings to China that relations could be damaged if Beijing continued to hold the crew of the American reconnaissance plane. And then..... Bush 'pleased' with China's decision to free air crew U.S. President George W. Bush said Wednesday he is ''pleased'' with China's decision to release 24 Americans detained in China following the April 1 collision of their reconnaissance plane with a Chinese jet fighter. ''I am pleased to be able to tell the American people that plans are under way to bring home our 24 American servicemen and women from Hainan Island,'' Bush said. A chartered Continental Airlines Boeing 737 left Guam Thursday morning bound for Hainan to pick up the crew members. After arriving in Guam, the air crew was scheduled to fly to Hawaii by military aircraft for debriefing by the U.S. military. After the debriefing, which could take two or three days, the crew would to be flown to their home base in Washington State. |
