all yur troops are belong to me

The bush's meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown weren't quite as warm and cuddly as the old Tony Blair love fests, according to the Washington Post's Dana Milbank.

In fact, Brown announced today that British troops are not likely to stay in Iraq for more than a few months.

Gordon Brown has paved the way for the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq by telling George Bush he would not delay their exit in order to show unity with the United States.

Gee, and just yesterday the bush showered Brown with praise, sort of: "He's a glass-half-full man, not a glass-half-empty guy, you know?"

Of course, that followed a remark in which the preznit managed to insult the entire population of Scotland in a single cliche-laden sentence: "
He's a Scotsman, kind of a -- he's not the dour Scotsman that you described him, or the awkward Scotsman; he's actually the humorous Scotsman...."

He left out the tightwad Scotsman. Maybe he's saving it for their next meet up.
