WASHINGTON -
President Bush expressed optimism Thursday about the future of British policy toward
Iraq under Gordon Brown, the apparent successor to Prime Minister
Tony Blair, declaring that Brown "understands the consequences of failure."

Bush said that in discussions with Brown, he found him "to be easy to talk to, a good thinker."

Speaking with reporters, Bush said he will miss Blair, his close ally in the Iraq war, who announced Thursday his decision to step down on June 27. Brown, Britain's treasury chief, is the apparent successor, but Bush was careful to point out that the final decision was yet to be made.

A month ago, Brown met with Bush for the first time without Blair being present. The two spoke for a half hour after Bush dropped in on a meeting between Brown and U.S. National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley. Brown was in Washington for meetings at the
World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.-snip-

4. I believe anyone would see the proverbial handwriting by now and

stay completely clear of Bush. He is a pariah now.

5. For those who don't know who Broon is...

He is a giant that lives in the hills north of East Karana in the land of Norrath (a planet in the EverQuest universe)
