Bush -1; Karzai - 0

President George W Bush has ruled out handing over command of US troops in Afghanistan to the government there. Afghan President Hamid Karzai said he would demand the move during talks with Mr Bush at the White House. [...] "Our troops will respond to US commanders," Mr Bush told journalists, when pressed on the issue.

are we surprised...? you can only imagine what RUMMY had to say on the issue... "%#!&*!$@...!!"

but, keeping up appearances...


Example

[T]he two men began their remarks to journalists by strongly praising each other. "I've got great faith in this man as a leader," Mr Bush said.

"... and my great faith in him will continue as long as I call the shots...!"
