Am I the only person out there who thinks that Bush looked sedated when he made his announcement that the only way that war would be called off was if Saddam and his boys packed the Winabago and went on vacation?

I mean, Bush was positively animatronic. I got more of a human vibe from the figures in Pirates of the Carribean and Small Small World. But it's nothing new I suppose.

Reputable historians now claim that Nixon was completely out of his box for the whole of 1973. Hitler was heavily drugged for the last year of his life. I suppose it helped block out the thunder of Soviet artilllery. Goering was a morphine addict and spent time a sanitorium in the early 1930s. Churchill quaffed vintage champagne (half bottle with every lunch - quick siesta and then a whiskey reviver) whilst saving Western civilisation. A mild form of Stalinist terror was when Uncle Joe would call members of his cabinet in the early hours for a war planning and heavy vodka session which would last till dawn. He would then arrange to meet them all a few hours later.

Maybe someone should give Blair an E.
