Bush tries to win friends and influence people, but he is a dud, at it.


Federal Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd has reiterated Labor's position on Iraq, saying Australian troops are needed closer to home.

Mr Rudd today met US President George W Bush, and while he would not reveal the details of their conversation, it is understood he made it clear that Labor would negotiate a staged withdrawal from Iraq if elected to government.

I can't say I blame them. This isn't their fight. If we are beating the withdrawl drum why would they want to stay?
