Bush to "Comfort" Families of British Soldiers in Iraq (From Fox News)
... Which is more than he is willing to do in the U.S.

If American families of US servicemen and servicewomen in Iraq want answers to questions about their loved ones, may I suggest that they quickly travel to London and try to get to talk with their president.

2. EVERY family of dead British soldiers?

Somehow, I doubt it. How about "Bush to comfort hand-picked families of British soldiers -- the few who don't hate him"

3. Sure He Is
Sealed up in the US Embassy in London with absolute control of the media and 250 Secret Service bodyguards looking over everyone's shoulder.

4. "The precise composition is still being worked on."

With the hours ticking away, No 10 confirmed that details of Mr Bush's meeting with relatives of dead troops were still in the air.

Mr Bush wants to tell the families their loved ones died for a "noble cause".

Downing Street admitted the president would meet relatives, and soldiers who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, on Thursday.

But asked if that included relatives of troops killed in this year's Iraq conflict, Mr Blair's spokesman replied: "The precise composition is still being worked on."

It implied Mr Bush will not meet those bereaved families who believe the public was misled into conflict.
