Watching George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair give a joint press conference is as embarrassing to watch as it is seeing a really fat person and a really skinny person trying to put on same-sized pairs of small pants. Blair's reassuring command of the English language and his eloquent defense of the situation in Iraq and the NATO position on foreign training of Iraqi security is a striking contrast to Bush’s unique (read:awful) speaking skills (Bush’s joint conference with French President Chirac was just as embarrassing, and the two didn’t even speak the same language!).

This ad hominem attack on Bush is rather irrelevant when it comes to the real issues that people are worried about, but it still is somewhat telling about Bush’s (as well as Rumsfeld’s and Wolfowitz’s) inept handle on the assuredly underestimated complexity of post-war Iraq.
